Civil engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and the built environment. It covers a wide range of projects, including buildings, roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, airports, and water supply systems. The course integrates principles from mathematics, physics, and material science to develop safe, sustainable, and efficient structures.  

Students learn about structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, and environmental engineering. They also gain practical skills in surveying, project management, and computer-aided design (CAD). Civil engineering requires problem-solving abilities, creativity, and an understanding of regulatory and safety standards.  

The program typically includes theoretical coursework, laboratory work, and field projects. Some universities offer specializations in areas like construction management, urban planning, or disaster mitigation. Graduates can work in government agencies, construction firms, consulting companies, or research institutions, playing a crucial role in shaping modern infrastructure and ensuring public safety.
