What do you love the most about being a civil engineer?

The ability to create great positive impact to our communities. With our designs and our expertise, civil engineers can greatly enhance the lives of those around us.

How do you see the civil engineering profession changing over the next 10 years?

Civil Engineers will need to adapt to the new technologies which are being developed. We need to combat climate change and adapt to the next big things that may change the way we currently do business. For instance smart cities, electric cars, etc. we also need to take care of our aging infrastructure and rehabilitate it.
