Civil engineering entails all aspects of basic necessities and niceties like shelter, transportation, water supply and waste disposal. The standard of living of a country is structured based on the basic infrastructure that is at its disposal like length of road per person, potable drinking water quantity per person and so on. With the growth the world experiences every day, the need for necessities are also heightened. Civil Engineering being one of the oldest disciplines of engineering is looked upon as a venerable degree that not only allows scope of improving the face of a country but also looking into aspects of protecting its environment, social and economic structure.
Land is a commodity that is a scarcity in recent times because of the extreme demands on it with the exploding population the world has been experiencing of late. The concept of vertical buildings has gripped the engineering world as being a possible solution which has resulted in the towering buildings seen springing all over the world. Few countries like Hong Kong and Singapore have taken a step ahead and also built underground structures to save space. But what the world requires is intelligent and well planned building which if built in haste will only see the destruction and collapse that so many buildings have resulted in. The force of Civil Engineering makes its mark here.
Civil Engineering will find an august position in the new era of human kind and its scope of improving the world and environment will always be at zenith in this futuristic world we dwell in.
