ARTICLE: Civil Engineering In-Depth

You've never seen the water as high or flowing as fast. Your responsibility as a project manager is to close a breach that occurred during a recent storm on a city canal. Your team of engineers have already investigated and reported the situation to you. Urgently, you make a few calls to temporarily close other waterways to the canal. You sign a stack of contracts for materials and modes of transportation like barges and helicopters to close the gap and stop the flow of water from a nearby lake into the city. After reporting to your supervisor, you head out of the office to meet with the water pump operators and assess the flood damage yourself.

Variety is one reason for choosing a civil engineering career. You might be in the office, working on designs at a computer or reporting progress to a client. You could be on site, leading teams, solving problems and literally being 'hands-on'. A recent survey (2004) by a UK civil engineering institution reported a high degree of job satisfaction, with 71% being satisfied with their employer and 75% being satisfied with their present role.

A degree in civil engineering offers an education all about creating, improving and protecting the environment in which we live. Courses will include management, technology, construction in commercial and personal, transportation infrastructures and heavy construction.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are 218,220 jobs in civil engineering, median annual earnings of $66,930. The highest 10 percent earned more than $91,010 annually. If you have a real sense adventure and a commitment to help those in the greatest need you might be interested one of the civil engineering programs offered by the schools profiled below.
