Let's learn about Civil Engineering!
When designing a building, civil engineering is associated with site
engineering- the design of grading, utilities, drainage and paving. The
civil engineer works with each of the other types of engineers as well as
the architect, the landscape architect and the contractor as a team to
provide a coordinated, cost efficient facility.
Civil engineers do many things, such as working with data from the
surveyor to make sure the building is on the right spot. Architects and
contractors team up with the civil engineers to help build the site and to
develop the layout of the building. The layout includes parking areas,
sidewalks, flowers and trees.

I am an engineer because... when I was little, I always enjoyed playing in
the dirt and building different things, in different ways, with tinker toys
and other building sets. As I got older, I became more involved in sports,
instrumental music and writing. I realized that I wanted to incorporate all
of my skills and interests into the real world.
