Creativity
Civil Engineers must have the ability of combining both technical
competence with creative designing. They must be able to master
the ins and outs of building construction, including electrical and
plumbing systems and functional workings. They should be able
to make plans to balance both functional value with aesthetic
appeal. Ebene Cybercity clearly demonstrate the creativity of civil

Field of Work
Civil Engineers spend most of their work time in outdoors at work
sites where they monitor buildings and projects and resolve
project issues. The nature of the work keeps Civil Engineers
active and on the move. Civil Engineers also get to work closely
with contractors, architects and workers. However Civil Engineers
do spend some time in their offices planning, making
appointments and participating in meetings.

Importance
Civil Engineers act as a pillar in community development. Without
their unique talents, the communities would not grow and
prosper. Buildings and roads provide the basis of city
infrastructure. Engineers not only provide them, but use their
skills to optimize performance and efficiency of community
systems. They also develop water and sewer systems that
balance safety standards with delivery of water and sewer
processing, which are key functions in city operation and
residents health and comfort. (Griggs, Francis E Jr,1997)
