Civil Engineering: Build a Great Career

Published on September 17, 2020

Introduction

India is developing at an exceptional rate. It has made tremendous progress in the fields of Informational Technology, Healthcare, Defence, Education, Automobiles, Aviation and even Space. All these sectors are directly or indirectly dependent on the infrastructure of the country. Infrastructure encompasses the building of cities, housing spaces, business hubs, industrial facilities, roads, dams, bridges, railway lines, waste management networks, power plants, mammoth monuments etc. In other words, we can say that infrastructure is the backbone of a country’s economy and it is the Civil Engineers who oversee it.

One can deduce that Civil Engineering may have emerged during the prehistoric period after the man abandoned his nomadic lifestyle and started to settle in one place. This created a need for permanent shelter which can withstand harsh climatic conditions, provide support and protection. Then came other priorities of human settlement such as the need for water for drinking, sewage and agriculture. This expanded the Civil Engineer’s expanse where he had to make provisions for dams, canals, irrigation etc. To ensure smooth commuting, roads, bridges etc. came into existence. Over the period this practice developed into full-fledged science known as Civil Engineering.

Today, Civil Engineering is a much sought after field which has great demand in every aspect of life. Thus an engineering aspirant can opt for Civil Engineering as his specialisation as a step towards a promising career.

Civil Engineering as a Career

Infrastructure is allotted a major portion of any country’s budget, especially in developing countries. In India, Rs. 1.7 Crores were allotted to Transport Infrastructure alone in the Union Budget 2020-21 presented by the Honourable Finance Minister.

India is aiming at a 5 Trillion economy and there is a lot of focus on the growth of infrastructure. This opens a plethora of opportunities for the professionals related to the Civil Engineering field, especially for Civil Engineers and Infrastructure Engineering in particular.

Infrastructure Engineering is the sub-branch of Civil Engineering which includes works of digital or IT infrastructure. It comprises of designing, planning and execution of developing the IT infrastructure in our country. Works such as internet connections, cabling of optical fibres, visualisation platforms, build digital storages etc. Infrastructure Engineering will be a key field in the development of the nation in the years to come.

It is the right time for the young students to opt for Civil Engineering and grab the opportunities which lie ahead.
