  • Open Journal Systems. 2012. Open Journal Systems. Public Knowledge Project.
  • noun The branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, docks, etc as carried out by a professional 'Civil Engineer' (see engineer noun 2). Civil engineering is a specialist sector of the Construction industry, which generally involves constructing large infrastructure projects as opposed to general building works. It often involves the use of large Construction plant and equipment to move heavy materials and large volumes of soil and rock.
  • The profession & people responsible for the building of roads and structures.
  • Civil Engineers are "people" engineers. They develop and design much of the essential infrastructure for our everyday lives, including large scale construction projects, transportation systems, water supply and waste disposal systems, industrial and commerical buildings, among other useful systems and structures.
  • Short Description Engineers and scientists hate idle periods: they would rather work non-stop researching and developing new technologies, weapons and ships. Long Description As your empire grows your colony develops new ways of handling building projects and uses robots to keep track and aid in the building process and add them to a building queue. * Requirements: Research Lab level 2, Engineer officer level 2 * Without Civil Engineering you can only have 1 building in your build queue. For a bigger build queue, you will need a higher level of Civil Engineering.

  • In modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence civil engineering is the profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live.

  • In modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence civil engineering is the profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live. Engineering has developed from observations of the ways natural and constructed systems react and from the development of empirical equations that provide bases for design. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. In fact engineering was once divided into only two fields--military and civil. All the engineering specialties have derived from civil engineering Civil engineering is still an umbrella field comprised of many related specialities.
