Civil engineering is all about improving public services and facilities, and the work of these engineeres is clear to see on a daily basis. The bus or train station you visit the coffee you drink in the morning and the car park you use when you go shopping has all had some input from civil engineers.

They’re essentially working to make out lives easier and it’s up to them to help the country save money, using sustainable energy to design and build everyday products, bridges, roads, railways, and tunnels. Without civil engineers there would be lack of caution in society, perhaps no constant supply of fresh water and energy, and that’s why it’s one of the most popular areas of engineering.

There are many good career prospects with civil engineering, and it can be very rewarding to know you’re day to day work is having an impact on people, society and the way in which we live our lives.
