What is the process of civil engineering study?

Answer

Generally 4 to 5 years of study at a college or university with an Engineering program, which includes a lot of math and sciences courses and many labs. You would most likely have to complete internships and co-op programs to inhance your learning.

Answer

its simple but hectic. its also involves some design work and administration skills. all you need is to go and consult a university for the academia.. and the rest is upto you. its a responsible job. as it relates with lives. do take this study seriously or leave it. i am also a civil engineer! so trust me!

Answer

Your first year will be general maths and physics, maybe a computer programming course, and most likely Drafting and/or Surveying. Second and third years you will take more maths courses, and you'll start courses in "structural analysis" (e.g. finding forces in the different members of frames and trusses). More complicated structures require more complicated analysis methods, which is why you took all that funky math in 1st & 2nd years! You will also start to get some courses in the properties of different materials (wood, steel, concrete) and how they behave under load. Likely there will be a lab or two on the subject, and these are usually quite fun. At this point you will also get some "Introduction to Design" courses where you start to match up the "Analysis" courses (finding loads and forces) with the properties of load carrying materials. In fourth year you will do specific courses in Steel Design, Concrete Design, maybe Wood Design, introducing you to the codes and standards required by law. There will likely also be courses in Construction Management and Ethics. If you have a choice, choose a co-op program: a lot of things like cost estimating and spec writing that you need as an engineer are not taught well or even at all in school. You will see them only on the job, and the sooner the better. Everyone knows that, of course, which is why you require a few years of work experience before you write the exams for your Province or State Licensing body to become a fully licensed Professional Engineer. It is a very rewarding profession---good luck with your studies!
