Civil Engineering; a “People serving profession” and is regarded as one of the oldest professions in the world. More than 2500 years old remaining of the great civilizations in ancient ruined cities, Sky-high Stupas, Gigantic water tanks, complex irrigation systems, are some of the living examples of our great Civil Engineering Ancestors. Following the tradition, even today, Civil Engineers contribute their knowledge and expertise in creating better living environments for people, which includes the whole infrastructure setup we use to build environments, roads, expressways, railways, air-ports, ports and harbors, bridges, dams, canals, irrigation systems, etc.
