什么是土木工程 and what do Civil Engineers do?

Civil engineering is a very broad profession that encompasses a wide range of activities, 有些显而易见，有些不那么明显. The profession is organized into several different 分支: Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and Water Resources Engineering.

Civil engineers design, build, operate, and maintain the structures and infrastructure 这让我们的现代社会得以运转. 这些设施至关重要 to our everyday life and include buildings, roads, bridges, safe drinking water systems, storm water and wastewater collection and treatment systems, railroads, seaports, airports, environmental protection systems, dams, flood control works, and many others.  Civil engineering is the largest of all engineering fields and is projected to have the largest job growth (over 46,000 new hires) in next 10 years.

Civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution control, traffic congestion, drinking water needs, energy demands, urban redevelopment, coastal protection and resiliency, and community planning.  在纽约的自由塔上 rising 1776 feet in the air to the massive Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, civil 工程师正在建设我们的未来.
