Career Opportunities for Majors in Engineering - Civil
Introduction
Every day, from the water faucet to the highway, you see the work of civil and environmental engineers in action. In fact, you don't just see their work-you use it. Whether you're driving across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, gazing up at the Empire State Building, or canoeing down the Delaware River, you're benefiting from the innovation and ingenuity of engineers who specialize in planning, designing, and supervising the construction of suspension bridges, water treatment facilities, transit systems, and even space satellites. At Rutgers' Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, respected researchers and inquisitive engineers-in-training work together to serve New Jersey and the nation with groundbreaking ideas designed to make our world a better place.
Civil engineering is one of the broadest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties. Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to modern life. These facilities vary widely in nature, size, and scope and include space satellites and launching facilities, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbors, water supply and wastewater treatment plants. Civil engineers work in diversified areas such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources and environmental engineering, transportation engineering, ocean and coastal engineering, and construction engineering.
