Civil engineering is the oldest and broadest of all engineering disciplines. Civil engineers design and construct infrastructure such as airports, buildings, bridges, dams, roads and sanitation systems. In fact, one quarter of all engineers are civil engineers. Civil and environmental engineers work in rural and urban areas for large and small companies, as well as for local, state and federal governments.
