Dear Subhi M Bazlamit ... thanks for answering..

This is a branch of engineering where u can see things actually happening. ie it is easy to visualise. In other engineering branches like ec or it or cs u cant directly see things happening u just imagine that "ok current flows from here to there". *civil engineering is the oldest branch of engineering we have today, look at the massive pyramid or the harrapan's civilisation. U just look around & u'll find civil engineering everywhere in all times. *most interesting branch: as u'll deal with daily problems of a common man, like problems of drainage, structure, roads, water supply, Traffic control, rivers, canals, airports, harbour etc etc. & list goes on. This is really interesting to know how things like these works. *future prospect: civil engineer have really broad scope, in government sector civil have maximul scope, u can do m tech & start to teach as there is very less no. Of good teachers available u'll have greater opportunity, research: since 180-200 years there have been a lot of discoveries happen in this field still a lot is needed to be found.

Not a civil engineer but following

I do agree with M. A. A. Al- Fatlawi , I accidentally chose civil engineering, but now I am loved with it. In fact I am thinking If I would not have chosen Civil Engineering, I would have lost a part of my life.

thank you

As a Civil Engineer I can say this is a wonderful profession that provides a range of job opportunities. A Civil Engineer can become a contractor and work at a construction site. He/she can also become a designer and work in the office. He/she can also be a manager and work both in the field and at the office. Furthermore, Civil Engineers, especially Structural Engineers, usually possess enough knowledge to work in any other Engineering field, e.g. in Mechanical or Bio-Engineering.

Best regards to all,

My dad was a civil engineer and we traveled to different places from Cairo, Addis Ababa....where I finished a part of my education...I went with him to different construction sites and wanted to do that as well...I am in academia now...in the field of civil engineering and I love it even more as I can do research and investigations besides on site work as well...

Since my childhood I have interested to be a professional civil engineer. It has been my biggest dream to build dam and other enormous construction projects. To attain to this position, I have tried a lot for several years.

Very valuble question

Dear M. A. A. Al- Fatlawi ... Thanks for your answering.. we define the question in special way.... thanks again..

Dear Segun Michael Abegunde .. .Thanks for joining our discussion..

Dear Shaswat Das ... Thanks for answering...

whom love his job, he must developed and developed until he be really successful.... hope we can work in special project together... ..

Dear Shaban A. A. Abdel-Raheem

Dear Borko Bulajić ... Thanks for answering...

You are right.. but did you think that as you are civil engineer, ..can do something more valuable and achieve something more important than the other...?

Naida Ademovic ... Thanks for answering..

Your father makes the love of "civil engineering" grow inside you... that's great...

Look, in civil engineering... dreams become true... that is my words ... what do you think...?

Dear Seyed Mehdi Mohammadizadeh ... Thanks for answering....

So, you like to construct a Dam, ... Did you start with your dream, ... what the main achieved project that you did up to now...?

Dear Hamid Reza Samadifard .... thanks for your comment

Dear Dr. Hussam Ali Mohammed , thank you for your question about Civil Engineer. If I want to be honest with you, I should mention that I have constructed several fundamental project in my country, Iran, such as sewerage refinery, regional Water Supply Project, and some other hydraulic projects. But I am pursuing postgraduate research towards PhD program.

Dear Seyed Mehdi Mohammadizadeh ... Thanks for your reply...

I'm sure that you are a successful civil engineer, because you start from the job that you loved... As I see that you are works in hydraulic structures, like earth concrete tanks and complicated parts in treatment plant process ... I did consulting on many of these structure... hope you get a useful information that increase your experiance..

What are you working on in your PhD program right now...?

Thank you Dr. Hussam Ali Mohammed for your attention and time. I am not a PhD student now. But I am trying to find a vacancy for my PhD. I am enthusiastic to work on "Trantision of floe through POROUS MEDIA" and/or related ground water field.

Dear Seyed Mehdi Mohammadizadeh ... hope you best wishes.. I'm sure you will achieve something great... Be in contact...

When I was in school, I wanted to build walking robots and floating cities (quite literally). I discovered over the years that they were metaphors of doing things never done before. In all of my work, I try to look with young eyes, and see what can be done that makes a particular project unique.

Some people think inside the box, and others think outside the box. To find the uniqueness, It means figuring out why the box is there in the first place, and then deciding how I want to approach it. Often, I discard the notion of the box in its entirety, and then I have much more explaining to do.

My strength is stormwater and riverine processes, but I'm pretty good with soils, too. I've just designed a SWM system that requires no pipes, no ponds, and has no surface water after the storm event ends, for an urban 85ha residential development. Another project I just finished is a bank erosion problem, caused by boat traffic and ice (separate problems).

If I were to retire tomorrow, I'd still be engineering - maybe not just civil, though. I've been playing around with thermal modelling of buildings, including direct and indirect, passive and active solar. Ask me sometime about how to store winter into the summer, at no operating cost.

Preparing the site for building a structure has been my dream all of the time. So I studied civil engineering and led to geotechnical branch.
