“Civil Engineering”, one of the most underrated engineering branches right now along with the likes of Chemical engineering. Many people consider civil engineering as an outdated branch these days and undoubtedly it has been one of the underdogs in this past decade or so.

Civil engineering along with mechanical engineering is one of the core branches of engineering and irrespective of how the world is progressing, this field will be having evergreen opportunities! It is just the thinking of the people which has to change. So, in this article, apart from discussing on aspects such as what exactly is civil engineering and what role does a civil engineer perform, we also discuss about some of the good senior design projects for civil engineering students.

“My building will be my legacy. They will speak for me, long after gone!”

         -Julia Morgan

Civil Engineering is a branch of engineering whose main purpose is to build and create new foundations and buildings. Maybe that's why civil engineers say that date a civil engineer because we won't leave you heartbroken. After all, we believe in building up things not breaking!

Just Kidding! :p

The whole world is blessed by a lot of monuments, museums and tourist places that are built by some of the great civil engineers from the 7 wonders of the world to roads, building, etc.

Similarly, in this article, we will discuss the 7 best major projects for civil engineering students.

Summary

Engineering is the foremost field of science that justified the saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” It is a tool through which we end up recognising the problems and come up with innovative solutions. As time progressed, we came up with a method of spreading this knowledge of engineering throughout the generation.

The students pursuing civil engineering, who enter their final year, are divided into two categories. First, those who pursue corporate fields in the future and others who pursue higher studies whether in India or abroad. For both categories, the students take up topics on which they develop their major projects. We have tried to provide various topics on which the students can work on their major projects.

Civil engineering is one of the oldest form of engineering and with the advent of technology, it has been doing wonders lately. It is not restricted to making and designing buildings only but as we are progressing, it is expanding its wings towards solving the problems and coming up with innovative ways that could even solve many problems at one time.

Summary

Civil Engineering is the most important field that is widely used in our day to day life. As long as mankind needs a shelter to live, civil engineering does not cease to exist. It has many subfields within. Subdivisions in this engineering are geotechnical, environmental, transportation, structural, and project management. This field ensures to build from ordinary roads to the largest infrastructure such as dams and bridges in the cities. One such vital role in the field of civil engineering is the Quantity Surveyor.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,'' says Nelson Mandela. These words wouldn't perfectly suit any other profession than civil engineering. Literally, they change the view of the world by building the infrastructure that we are using in our everyday life. This is one of the oldest professions in the world that has just got a little bit varied in the way of working. I am pretty sure that building or creating something with our hands is innate to every human being. Right from playfully building sand houses at the beach and branding it as our castle, some may chase their true passion for building and succeed in finding their dream job (some may end up building only sand houses like me;-p). Anyways, such civil engineers with true passion can transform the world with a great aesthetic appeal. You may wonder is this hype all worth it? Well, I am here to explain what civil engineering is all about and help you with choosing the right projects. We, at Skyfi Labs, offer you the ideas of how to develop good civil engineering projects, which might provide you the benefit of securing a perfect job for you.

Summary

Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciples and hence one of the most fundamental forms of engineering in the world. Ever since humanity has wanted a roof over its head, civil engineering has been what has made that possible. Most of the structures that we see in real life have been created using the principles of civil engineering. As we switch to even larger projects and more sustainable forms of development, it becomes important to stay updated and relevant. The field of civil engineering has undergone several changes, and one of the most important ones has been the integration of technology in this field. Some software has been added to a civil engineer’s arsenal to help them complete projects efficiently. Over 575 of 600 top engineering companies in the US use Primavera P6, making it an industry leader. As young enthusiasts and students, it is important that you are well-trained in using such software. This time around we will be talking of one such software and why it is so important. Here’s a look at Primavera P6 and its advantages.

Summary

Civil engineering is one of the oldest forms of engineering in the world and has many sub-disciplines and disciplines in it. It concerns itself with everything from the building of roads to the large-scale construction of cities and dams. For as long as man has wanted a roof over his head, civil engineering has been around and will continue to be so as well because in the future we need self-sustainable and green buildings. It is one of the branches of engineering wherein we can very easily see its impact. The various subdivisions of it are structural, transportation, geotechnical, environmental and project management. This time around we will be taking a look at one such important facet of civil engineering known as quantity surveying. Read on to find out everything you need to know regarding the best online courses to learn quantity surveying and also why it is so important.

Summary

Civil engineering is the oldest form of engineering and it has been around for quite some time now. This engineering discipline deals with the environment and goes all the way back to when the early man placed a leaf over his head to have a roof over their family’s head. Everything from using a tree to get across a river to building tree houses comes under the umbrella of civil engineering. This built environment grew along with technology and slowly became the modern civilization we know life to be now. Buildings, bridges, and roads have come a long way since the first constructions, and now we have more structures and buildings than ever before. Everything from railroads and airports to water faucets and plumbing is in some way related to civil engineers. So, if you are a young civil engineering enthusiast, how do you make sure you have a good future in this field? Here’s a look at everything you need to know about the latest online courses related to civil engineering.
