Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil Engineering is considered as one of the oldest engineering disciplines. A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale and maintenance of the assets. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge, but also supervisory and administrative skills. The planning part of their work involves site investigations, feasibility studies, creating solutions to complications that may occur and the actual designing of structures. They have to work with the guidelines of the local Govt. authority and get plans approved by the relevant authority. They prepare cost estimates and sets construction schedules. Construction work involves dealing with clients, architects, Govt. officials, contractors and the supervision of the work according to standards.
A Diploma in Civil Engineering will get good opportunities in industry as India is moving fast forward for infrastructure development.
