Career in civil engineer

  Careers

The education and careers of our students are our Raisonsed entre. The faculty, staff, 

and university administration would not be here were it not for the students. It is 

self-understood that after providing them with a superb education, we also assist 

them with career counseling and job placement. This is one of the major advantages

 we have as a small department in a small engineering school. We can afford to pay

 individual attention to our students after graduation.

The Greater New York Area has more job opportunities to offer to civil engineers than

 any other city in the country. Our faculty maintains close relationships with the local

 industry. Many of our adjunct faculty are practicing engineers from the area and hold

 leadership positions. We have an Industry Advisory Committee that consists of industry

 leaders and meets regularly to advise us on educational and professional matters. Then

                   there are many close ties to our alumni as well to industry and local professional organizations that facilitate the job placement of our graduates.

               

Future or career in civil life

                                 Career as Civil Engineer

 Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and incorporates the design and construction of roads, airports, tunnels, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, dams, harbours, railroad systems, docks, power supply systems, buildings and even nuclear power plants etc.
   
 Civil Engineering has several specialties.
                                   
Civil engineers work as construction engineers, transportation engineers, hydraulic and irrigation engineers, Geotechnical engineers,
   environmental engineers, public works engineers.

                                           job profile

- Civil engineers have to work in the office and at the site. Contracting engineers as well as consulting civil          engineers have to work on several sites at the some time

-They are also required to deal with critical problems such as disaster mitigation and management

- Structural  engineers design oil rigs, multi-storied car parks or office blocks to ensure that the structural
    framework of the building is strong enough to take the load for which the structure is meant. It is also               designed to withstand heat, cold and tremors. They develop non conventional construction materials and          techniques, e.g., special bridge structures,building framework etc.

-Water management engineers specialize in water supply, sewerage systems and pollution control Highway
 engineers are involved in assessing, planning rebuilding road networks, one way systems, traffic lights, lanes,   parking spaces etc.

-Highway engineers are concerned with road building and traffic management
