  09Civil Engineering 
   Civil Engineering is the study of planning, designing, testing and directing the construction of large scale buildings, structures, transport systems, water supply, pollution control and sewerage systems. It includes economic, functional and environmental considerations in the design and construction. Skills learned include: analysing the composition and strength of various engineering materials, analysing sites and applying the principles of soil mechanics to determine construction methods, applying the principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulics to the design and construction of watercourses and dams, designing civil engineering projects, preparing and interpreting specifications, drawings and plans. The main purpose of this field of study is to develop an understanding of the theory and technology of civil engineering and their application to the construction process, the effects of soils, water and stress on structures and the environmental impact of civil engineering projects. It also involves developing an ability to design, organise and co-ordinate civil engineering projects.
