Civil Engineering• A discipline that deals with the design,
construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.
![Page 11: Introduction to… Introduction to Engineering. Twenty Reasons to Become an Engineer 1.Engineering allows you to put your creativity to the test every day](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e6a5503460f94b68504/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering.
