Civil and Structural Engineering: Career, Placements and Education Information

What is Civil and Structural Engineering?

Civil and Structural Engineering is a specialization of the broad domain of Civil Engineering. It can be studied as a separate discipline as well. Civil and Structural Engineering deals with the analysis and design of structures. They include buildings, bridges, towers, flyovers, tunnels, offshore structures like oil and gas fields in the sea, aero structure and other structures that support or resists the load. Civil and structural engineers design buildings and non-building structures or machinery, equipment, vehicles etc.

Scope of Civil and Structural Engineering?

• Structural engineers primarily deal with the design of structures and calculate the loads and stresses of the structure to be built. 
• They also test the quality and strength delivered by a range of building materials and understand how to incorporate support beams, columns, and foundations.
• Before work can begin, structural engineers are involved in the investigation and survey of build sites to determine the suitability of the earth for the requirements of the upcoming project. 
• They also coordinate and consult with other members of their projects, including engineers, environmental scientists, and architects.
