Career outlook

Civil Engineering is an important component of the economy, ensuring an excellent job outlook. Civil Engineers work in construction companies and engineering firms, handling projects from the initial planning idea to its implementation. They coordinate construction projects for public and private clients. In urban planning, civil engineers work for government agencies and develop new ideas to relieve traffic congestion in cities. They also manage the maintenance and improvement of existing building stock giving special consideration to economic and ecological aspects.
