THE ENGINEERING ALPHABET: CIVIL ENGINEERING

Working in one of the largest branches of engineering, civil engineers deal with buildings, bridges, dams, roads, and other structures. They plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities such as high-rise buildings, airports, water treatment centers, and sanitation plants. In the near future, civil engineers will design the special rail beds for the magnetic levitation trains of tomorrow. And in the distant future of sci-fi speculation, it will be civil engineers who make Mars a hospitable habitat for humans.
