Civil Engineering is the mother of all engineering disciplines. It deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams, airports, highways, buildings, flyovers, tunnels and offshore structures. The study involves planning, designing and executing structural works.

The major specializations within civil engineering are structural, water resources, environmental, construction, transportation, geo-technical engineering etc. Most engineering graduates start with the basics and as they prove their competence they are given more and more responsible tasks. Senior engineers involve in more complex design works or management of junior engineers or into specialized consulting.
