What does civil engineering major do?
Civil engineering is a general term of science and technology for the construction of various engineering facilities. It not only refers to the object of engineering construction, that is, various engineering facilities built underground, above ground or in water, but also refers to the applied materials, equipment and technical activities such as survey, design, construction, maintenance and repair. The material basis for the construction of engineering facilities is land, building materials, building equipment and construction machines and tools. With the help of some material conditions of this civil engineering course, it is the starting point and destination of civil engineering to build engineering facilities that can not only meet people's use requirements and aesthetic requirements, but also safely bear various loads.
