The fundamental reason for the transformation of civil engineering specialty from popular to unpopular lies in the saturation of the job market and the insufficient demand for civil engineering professionals in the market.

There are two main reasons for the imbalance between supply and demand of civil engineering specialty:

First, a few years ago, due to the popularity of civil engineering, many schools enrolled students majoring in civil engineering, which led to a sharp increase in the number of civil engineering majors.

Second, compared with the fiery domestic construction industry in previous years, the current construction industry has cooled down and the demand for civil engineering talents has decreased. The supply side provides too many talents, and the demand side can't accept so many talents, so the employment of graduates of this major is somewhat difficult compared with previous years. The imbalance of supply and demand structure is the fundamental reason why this major has become an unpopular major.
