Every project, from major shopping malls to small office buildings, begins with a properly prepared site. In addition to ensuring proper grading and drainage, civil engineers also design the utility placement and plan for any zoning issues from local authorities. Because the services and insights they provide are critical for the safety and usability of any building project, civil engineers must have a wide-ranging education, years of experience, and licensing from a state board.

What Are the Requirements of a Civil Engineer?

Each state has different requirements for becoming a licensed civil engineer, but every jurisdiction requires a combination of educational credentials and real-world experience. In Montana, for example, civil engineers must have at least a baccalaureate degree in civil engineering from an approved institution, as well as four years of progressive experience working under a licensed professional. Every applicant for a license must also pass a rigorous exam administered by the state.

What Do Civil Engineers Do?

Civil engineers boast wide-ranging expertise, allowing them to tackle a variety of challenges, from establishing a land plan to designing lighting and pathways. They also plan roads, build bridges, and generally work to ensure your project meets your design goals. Because their responsibilities are so extensive, civil engineers must take classes in physics, hydraulics, and environmental engineering, as well as construction methods and materials.
