Q: What does a Civil Engineer do?

A: Civil Engineers plan, design, and direct the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, pipelines, subdivisions, waste water systems, and many other types of facilities. They may work in a specific field such as construction, land development, structural or hydraulic design, soil mechanics, waste water treatment, or solid waste management. They may also work with specialists on general problems such as soil or ground water contamination or energy development and conservation.

Civil Engineers may design the main features of a project, then direct the work of drawing plans, writing specifications and preparing final cost estimates. They may prepare deeds, property descriptions and right-of-way maps. In the field they usually do surveying, site investigation, or construction inspection or supervision. They may also sample and test soil or construction materials in the laboratory or the field.
