What is civil and environmental engineering?

Civil and environmental engineering creates infrastructure that functions in harmony with the environment. It addresses the interactions between engineered and natural environments.

This specialist field of engineering involves the design, construction and management of road systems, marine and wetland developments and recreation facilities. It also involves projects such as mining and landfill site restoration.

What do civil and environmental engineers do?

Civil and environmental engineers solve problems in the context of community and environmental needs.

They manage natural resource systems such as forests, land and water, paying attention to urban water sensitive design and reducing rural soil erosion and salinity problems.

Civil and environmental engineers are also involved in land use planning and integrating transport aspects to produce sustainable urban and rural developments.
