Civil Engineering is one of the oldest and largest field of engineering. It deals with the design, planning, maintaining, construction, surveying, supervising the construction or infrastructure and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, dams, airports, canals, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. Civil Engineering is widely use in every aspects around the world.
Civil Engineering is considered as a single largest branch among all the engineering branches. It is the also second oldest field after military engineering. According to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc, the Civil Engineering Market size is expected to grow up to $12 Trillion by the year 2025.
