i request an experienced civil engineer to tell me more about civil engineering. Is there planning and design involved? What are the mathematical concepts i need to be strong in to take it up? and many more details if possible

							
Dear student,
Considered as one of the oldest engineering disciplines, Civil Engineering          involves planning, designing and executing structural works. The profession          deals with a wide variety of engineering tasks including designing, supervision          and construction activities of public works like roads, bridges, tunnels,          buildings, airports, dams, water works, sewage systems, ports etc. and          offers a multitude of challenging career opportunities. 
 

A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project,          constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the          product. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering          knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills. The planning          part of their work involves site investigation, feasibility studies, creating          solutions to complications that may occur and the actual designing of          structures. They have to work with the guidelines of the local government          authority and get plans approved by the relevant authority. They may prepare          cost estimates and set construction schedules. Construction work involves          dealing with clients, architects, government officials, contactors and          the supervision of work according to standards. Their work also involves          the maintenance and repair of the project.
