    • What is Civil Engineering?

      Civil engineering is all around you! Civil engineers make the world a better place. Imagine building the tallest building in the world, a bridge across a raging river, or bringing clean water into an entire town.

      Civil engineering is not just a great engineering or STEM career. It's consistently ranked as one of the best jobs in all categories.

    • What Do Civil Engineers Do?

      Civil engineers help people in real ways from deep tunnels to protect wetlands to building retractable roofs on sports stadiums.

    • "The project was a success. We, the community and I, provided a clean source of water for 100 people."
      — Madeley Arriolo Guerrero
      "I'm combating climate change and creating a better city to live in."
      — Paul Lee
      "My job is to make sure structures stand firmly on the ground during and after an earthquake. If the building remains standing, you can save hundreds of lives."
      — Menzer Pehlivan

      Historic civil engineers used their creativity and ingenuity to lead the way to innovative civil engineering design, serving as an inspiration for today’s practitioners.  

      To date, more than 200 projects worldwide have earned the designation of ASCE Historical Civil Engineering Landmark, one that illustrates the creativity and innovative spirit of civil engineers. Almost always performed under challenging conditions, each of these engineering feats represents the achievement of what was considered an impossible dream.
