Civil Engineering – Polytechnic & ITI
Civil engineering is a broad field focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of physical and naturally built environments — including roads, bridges, buildings, dams, and water systems. It applies scientific and mathematical principles to improve infrastructure and quality of life.
Examples of Civil Engineering Projects:
- Roads and highways: Planning, designing, and constructing road networks.
- Bridges: Designing and building bridges of various types and sizes.
- Buildings: Designing structural aspects for residential and commercial spaces.
- Dams: Constructing dams for water storage and flood control.
- Water and sewage systems: Implementing water supply and wastewater solutions.
