Guide for Civil Engineering
A branch of engineering that encompasses the conception,
design, construction, and management of residential and commercial water
supply facilities, and transportation systems for goods and people, as
well as control of the environment for the maintenance and improvement
of the quality of life. Civil engineering is a people-serving profession;
it includes planning and design professionals in both the public and private
sectors, contractors, builders, educators, and researchers who strive
to meet the needs and desires of the community. (Access Science)
