This book is written to inspire and empower students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree. It is designed as a textbook for an introductory course in a civil engineering curriculum. Students who come to a BSCE degree program may have some vague idea of civil engineering as a discipline or a profession. Some may have mistaken civil engineering as being mainly about architectural design. While it usually takes four years of study to learn to some degree what civil engineering is about, it is possible to provide a general description of civil engineering as a discipline by going through its major technical areas and the attributes of civil engineers.
