"Today, civil engineers are in the forefront of technology. They are the leading users of sophisticated high-tech products—applying the very latest concepts in computer-aided design (CAD) during design, construction, project scheduling, and cost control.
Civil engineering is about community service, development, and improvement. It involves the conception, planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space satellites. Civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment, and community planning."
