Careers
In the United States, there is no one typical career path for
Civil Engineers. Most engineering graduates start with jobs of low
responsibility, and as they prove their competence, are given more and
more responsible tasks, but within each subfield of civil engineering,
and even within different segments of the market within each branch, the
details of a career path can vary. In some fields and in some firms, entry level engineers are put to work primarily monitoring construction in the
field, serving as the “eyes and ears” of more senior design engineers;
while in other areas, entry-level engineers end up performing the more
routine tasks of analysis or design. More senior engineers can move
into doing more complex analysis or design work, or management of
more complex design projects, or management of other engineers, or
into specialized consulting, including forensic engineering.
Salaries for Civil Engineers in the United States have typically been
lower than those for other fields of engineering, but entry-level salaries
are higher than those in most non-engineering fields outside IT.
Education and Licensure
Prior to becoming a practicing engineer, civil engineers generally
complete tertiary (college or higher) educational requirements, followed
by several years of practical experience. Each country, state, or province
individually regulates civil engineering practice.
In the U.S., one must become a licensed Professional Engineer
to do any civil engineering work affecting the public or to legally
represent oneself as a civil engineer. Licensure requirements vary
slightly by state, but in all cases entail passing two licensure exams,
the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and the Principles and Practice
exam, and completing a state-mandated number of years of work
under the supervision of a licensed Professional Engineer. In addition,
an educational requirement must often be met. All states accept a four
year Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng)
degree in Civil Engineering. The acceptability of degrees in other field
varies by state; some states allow a person to substitute additional
years of supervised work experience for the degree requirement.
Although the American Society of Civil Engineers encourages states
to raise the educational requirement to a graduate degree, advanced
degrees are currently optional for civil engineers in the United States.
Graduate study may lead either to a Master of Engineering, which
is a Professional Master’s degree, or to a Master of Science degree
followed by a PhD in civil engineering or a sub-discipline.
Construction engineering
Construction engineering concerns the planning and management
of the construction of structures such as highways, bridges, airports,
railroads, buildings, dams, and reservoirs. Construction of such projects
requires knowledge of engineering and management principles and
business procedures, economics, and human behavior. Construction
engineers engage in the design of structures temporary, cost estimating,
planning and scheduling, materials procurement, selection of equipment,
and cost control.
Construction Engineering is differentiated from Construction
Management from the standpoint of the use of math, science, and
engineering to analyze problems and design a construction process.
Construction engineers build many of the things that people use every day.
Construction engineering involves many aspects of construction
including: commercial, residential, bridges, airports, tunnels, and
dams. It is an extremely large industry that provides jobs to many and
continues to grow. Currently there are nearly 6 million people working
on construction in the United States
Construction engineers are in high demand so it is easy for a CE to
get a job in any part of the country.
Career
Construction is the largest industry in the United States. It provides
jobs to millions ranging in all types of education. Construction engineers
follow the plans of architects and sometimes design the actual structure.
After the structure has been designed the engineers make sure it has
been built correctly by testing and overseeing the construction.
Tasks – Construction engineers have a lot of responsibilities in their
job. Certain tasks have to be completed everyday in order to get the job
done correctly. Analyzing reports is a main part of their job description.
They must analyze maps, drawings, blueprints, aerial photography and
other topographical information. Construction engineers also have to
use computer software to design hydraulic systems and structures while
following construction codes. They have to calculate load and grade
requirements, liquid flow rates and material stress points to ensure
that the structure can withstand stress. Keeping a safe workplace is
key to having a successful construction company. It is the construction
engineer’s job to make sure that everything is conducted correctly. In
addition to safety, the construction engineer has to make sure that the site
stays clean and sanitary. Surveying the land before construction begins
is also a job of the construction engineer. They have to make sure that
there are no impediments in the way of where the structure will be built
and if there are any they must move them. They also must estimate costs
and keep the project under budget. Construction engineers have to test
the soils and materials used for adequate strength. Finally, construction
engineers have to provide construction information, including repairs
and cost changes, to the managers.
Construction engineers
Construction engineers build structures that are used by people
everyday so they have to be safe and be able to withstand the elements.
To complete the job properly construction engineers have to have the
knowledge of many different aspects. Those aspects include engineering,
technology, design, math, construction, English, customer service,
management, transportation, public safety, and computers. They use the
engineering, technology, and math aspects to make sure they build the
structure to the set standards. They use English, customer service, and
management knowledge to deal with the people that could possibly buy
the structure. They also use this knowledge to inform the management
on how the project is coming along and if any changes are needed.
Most construction engineers have a love for math and science. In
addition to these abilities there are many other skills needed to be a
construction engineer. Critical thinking, listening, learning, problem
solving, monitoring, and decision making are all very important in
construction engineering. Construction engineers have to be able to
think about all aspects of a problem and listen to other’s ideas so that
they can learn everything about a project before it begins. After they
have begun a project they must solve the problems that they encounter
using math and science. They also have to monitor the workers on
the job site for safety and to make sure that the project is on time and
done correctly. Whenever a problem occurs it is up to the construction
engineer to make the decision on how to fix it.
