What does civil engineering mean?

My grandfather was a civil engineer! They do a lot of really interesting things. Their job has to do a lot with design and construction. They can tell you what works and what won't for all sorts of situations. There are a lot of mathematics involved along with many other disciplines. They have to have a good solid understanding of how the environment works and how nature interacts with man-made. They are probably best known for designing bridges, interstates, sky scrapers, canals, and so forth.
