Civil Engineering applies the laws and principles of the basic sciences, primarily mechanics, to the design, modification, construction, and building of structures of all kinds, to resist and harness the forces of nature, and to improve the quality of life. Civil engineers are responsible for planning, designing, and constructing onshore and offshore operating structures, water-supply and waste-disposal systems, air- and water- pollution-control systems, flood-control systems, and transportation systems. In essence, civil engineers are concerned with the environment of modern society.
