Professional introduction
Civil engineering is the general name of science and technology for building various land engineering facilities. It not only refers to the application of materials, equipment and technical activities such as survey, design, construction, maintenance and repair, but also refers to the object of engineering construction. That is, all kinds of above-ground, underground or onshore engineering facilities that directly or indirectly serve human life, production, military affairs and scientific research, such as houses, roads, railways, pipelines, tunnels, bridges, canals, dams, ports, power stations, airports, offshore platforms, water supply and drainage, protection projects, etc. Civil engineering refers to all kinds of technical work such as investigation, planning, design, construction, installation and maintenance of new construction, reconstruction and expansion of buildings, structures and related supporting facilities, as well as engineering entities completed by them.

Career prospects
Civil engineering is very special and systematic. Because almost all civil engineers design and build different structures, it is impossible to have two identical buildings. Although some buildings look the same, the site conditions (foundation, wind load, earthquake load, etc. ) The buildings are different. Large buildings such as dams, bridges or tunnels are completely different from each other. Therefore, civil engineers should be ready to deal with new and complicated situations at any time. However, there are serious problems in the training programs of 985 universities, including Tongji University, Tsinghua University and Southeast University, which have been seriously out of touch with the actual work.
With the expansion of civil engineering scale, and the subsequent development of construction tools, equipment and machinery to a variety, automation and large-scale, construction is becoming more and more mechanized and automated. At the same time, organization and management began to apply the theory and method of system engineering, which became more and more scientific. The construction of some engineering facilities continues to tend to the standardization of structures and components and the industrialization of production. This can not only reduce the cost, shorten the construction period, improve labor productivity, but also solve the construction problems under special conditions, thus building projects that were difficult to construct in the past. The major of civil engineering is a discipline that studies, designs and builds industrial and civil buildings, tunnels and underground buildings, highways and urban roads, bridges and other engineering facilities by using basic scientific knowledge such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer information science, technical scientific knowledge such as mechanics and materials, and corresponding engineering technical knowledge.
