Civil engineering is one of the fundamental branches of engineering whose scope expands to include many aspects of modern life. It treats the problems of designing and analyzing civil facilities such as housing, schools, and dwellings, and it also addresses the problems of the infrastructure of contemporary cities, which include building roads, bridges, airports, railways, traffic management as well as water networks and sewage. Moreover, civil engineering treats environmental problems and provides solutions to sewage treatment and environmental pollution. The field expands to include building dams, drilling wells, canals, and solid waste management. The civil engineer is the specialist who is qualified to address these problems and find appropriate economic solutions to them.
