Some of the common jobs and responsibilities of a civil engineer are to plan and design bridges, tunnels, highways, waterways, airfields, sewage systems, and buildings. They supervise the construction of these projects. They oversee the maintenance of building structures. Along with having the responsibility to look at construction costs, government regulations, potential hazards to the environment, and other factors in the planning stage.

Some specialize in one area. Some of the main specializations include structural, construction, hydraulics, sanitary, environmental, transportation, and soil mechanics engineering. A bachelor 's degree in civil engineering from a known school is essential to enter the career field. Any civil engineer who wants to offer their skills to the public directly must be licensed by the state of employment. Typically, the license represents four years of work experience and the passing of an exam covering a variety of civil engineering topics. Numerous colleges and universities offer advanced civil engineering degrees. They range anywhere from an Associate’s degree up to a master’s degree, the most common however is a Bachelor’s of Science in Civil
