Engineers also need to consider sustainability, which means taking into account political, environmental, social, and economic systems during construction and manufacturing projects.
There are various routes to become a civil engineer.
You could take a university degree course and whilst studying choose to specialise in a particular area, such as environmental, structural, or coastal or you could take a college course or apprenticeship in construction/engineering.
