Everyday we rely on some aspect of Civil engineering to enable us to live our lives. Whether it is building the Petronas Towers or life-saving water treatment plants in developing countries, civil engineering is the core discipline that enables projects to happen.
It touches just about every kind of structure you can think about: bridges, roads, tunnels, and skyscrapers. Civil engineering is a discipline that has real-life applications in countless aspects of modern living.
