The World of Civil Engineering

“Engineering is not only about learning the subjects

but it is all about moral studies of intellectual growth.”

Are you influenced by the world of engineering? Can you imagine a world without civil engineering? It might be more intricate to answer than you think because many of us do not actually know the extent to which we rely on engineering.

“God creates the world but engineers design the world!”

 There are numerous streams in engineering that help everyone in several perspectives for their growth. Even though there are several streams, Civil Engineering is considered one of the oldest streams of Engineering in the world right from the origin. Civil engineering plays a prominent role throughout history whether it is ancient, medieval, or modern. The field of Civil Engineering is very immense and distinct. So is the life of a Civil Engineer.

The life of a civil engineer is a pretty challenging one compared to others. It’s definitely not a white-collar job where one can lead a tranquil life. They may be associated with the building of infrastructures such as roads, dams, highways, bridges in far-flung areas where their shelter is just a roof over their heads sometimes even without that, which no one could imagine. Their work is full of hurdles, risks, and anxiety. No doubt that they have a burden of obligation and commitment, but at the end of their successful completion they are the happiest and most contented ones. The influential hindrance is to execute the plan as conceived. We should feel grateful for the tireless roles they have made.

Have you ever imagined the world without civil engineers? Oh no… Never imagine. It’s horrible to lead a life.

“We dream it! they build it!”

Have you ever dreamt of having a cup of coffee under the sea? Or in a rotating building? Do you think it’s hilarious? Yeah! You may think but they have made it. Yes! Underwater construction is there, the Rotating tower is there, and whatnot. Civil engineers have made all the impossible ones into a possible one.

                        The best creator next to God is  .  .  .  “CIVIL ENGINEER”

The hard work and dedication of aspiring civil engineers can be seen just by opening the window and viewing the structures that enhance the infrastructure. The structures that they erect define the culture and help to keep pace with a continually growing world. Civil engineering has inherent importance without which roads, buildings, bridges, dams couldn’t be built which would have become improbable to lead a routine life.                                         

We call the profession a “people-serving profession”, as they focus on the well-being of the people and the society. This, in turn, leads to improvement in the economical status of a nation which paves a way for sustainability, the most needed one.  The work of Civil Engineers focuses majorly on the outgrowth of a nation rather than the individual outgrowth.

The study of civil engineering itself is an interesting one, where the students can learn things with their own interest and gain practical experience by seeing things happening around them like pollution, logging of water, drainage problem, water supply, traffic control, and goes on. It becomes easy for them to visualize. However, at the end of the day, it’s their responsibility to sort out the issue. These are not just a problem of a single day, these complex issues cause a greater impact on our environment.

Civil Engineering…

graduates have a wider scope, where they need not stick to a particular field. They may get into a government sector, teaching field, research platform, construction and designing, Surveyor, Geologist, or even can start their own construction. The entire world is completely packed with works of civil engineering. The stream of Civil engineering, not just confined to Structural Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Transport Engineering, Water Resource Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Architecture. They do incorporate with the field, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine learning, as the global world is moving towards a trend. One step ahead, they also do focus on green technology, as a measure to preserve our environment.

We quench our thirst with water, the person behind water resource Engineering is a Civil engineer.

We drive cars on 6 lane and 8 lane roads or even one-way roads, the person behind highway Engineering is a Civil engineer.

We breathe unpolluted air, the person behind Environmental Engineering is a Civil engineer.

We live in a well-built house, of course, the person behind Structural Engineering is a Civil engineer.

We could see their role everywhere. As a kid, we would have played with building blocks, and now it’s time to conceive a plan, design, construct, complete, and feel contented.

I wish the upcoming generations to build their skills, not their resumes. Because in the competitive world, everyone should possess unique skills to sustain. Moreover, we know the difficulty in attaining sustainability. And definitely, BIT is the right place to enhance your skills. Have a happy education!

The road to success is always under construction..

Keep constructing your’s till you attain your destination!
