Civil Engineering - Build It Up !!

Ever wondered who builds big magnificent buildings? A Civil engineer does it.  Not just a building, a civil engineer builds roads, brides, monuments and other constructional entities. John Prebble very smartly put civil engineers as “civil engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments with public consent, public approval and often public money.”  This engineering does not only require sitting on the desk and designing the structures to be constructed but field work is equally important providing one both indoor and outdoor experiences. 

For someone who wants a cabin in the office and also wants to work out under the sun, civil engineering is probably meant for them. May be you will build another Leaning Tower or another Great Wall or who knows another Taj Mahal.
