COURSE : Civil Engineering
ambition
standard 1-3
i want to be a fashion designer !
i want to be a stewardess !
standard 4-6
i want to be scientist !
i want to be astronaut !
form 5
i want to be engineer !
i applied for civil engineering course as my first choice at umm during the regular test back then
and and and
Alhamdulillah ! i have made it !
i barely believe it !
i am soon to be an engineer ! Insinyur in Indonesia
why i want to be engineer ? my dad told me back then , years ago
'ade jadi engineer , kerja , umur 30 udah bisa berhenti , gajinya udah banyak'
i keep that sentence in my mind . other than that , Malaysia really need engineer right now . hikhiks
and the prospect is good , the salary is big !
okay . it's not all about big salary or what
i get the influenced from both my sister , both studying engineering
my first sister graduated in civil engineering
and the other one still studying in irrigation engineering
and and and mr. bean is an engineer !
waaaaaaaaaa
okay . about my major . i dont know much . My aplinet's teacher asked me to think to myself , no copy from other sources and now im too lazy to search about my major . Whyyy mila whyyyy you so lazy !
Semangat semangat !
So engineer is about
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including architectural engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, geophysics, geodesy, control engineering, structural engineering,transportation engineering, earth science, atmospheric sciences, forensic engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, offshore engineering, quantity surveying,coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies

Much of the physical infrastructure of our modern society is provided by Civil Engineers. Civil Engineers are concerned with all types of structures including dams, bridges, pipelines, roads, towers and buildings. They are responsible for the design and construction of all our transport systems, the design and management of our gas and water supply, sewerage systems, harbours, airports and railways. Civil Engineers plan, design and test the structures of private and public buildings and facilities.
They are also involved in many environmental areas such as the assessment of the impact large scale projects have on the environment and the collection and treatment of sewage and industrial wastes, pollution control, environmental control and resource protection and management.
A Civil Engineer will work from an architect's drawings and consider whether the chosen materials for a particular building will be strong enough to hold a structure of that height or design. At the same time they would also think about how the structure might affect its surroundings. It is the responsibility of the civil engineer to produce safe, economical and environmentally-sound structures.
Civil engineers may specialise as chief civil engineers, construction engineers, municipal engineers, structural engineers, transport engineers, or water supply distribution engineers.
Civil and public health engineers may work in the private sector as consulting engineers, project managers or construction contractors or in a wide range of government departments.
Work opportunities for civil engineers are affected by fluctuations in the building and construction industry. As a result, the number of opportunities may rise or fall over a short period of time.

and what do civil engineers do ?
You clean your teeth using the running water in your bathroom. Have a cup of tea or coffee. You travel to work on a finely constructed network of roads or on a train or underground system. You park your car or grab another cup of coffee at the train station before heading to the office. You might even walk through an underpass or over a bridge before finally settling at your desk. None of this would have been possible without civil engineers.
Civil engineers design and build bridges, roads, railways, and tunnels. They design and build tall structures and large buildings such as multi-storey car parks, train stations, and even the Olympic stadium.
Without civil engineers we wouldn’t have a constant supply of clean water, or sustainable energy to help us save our planet. Without civil engineers the world we live in would be completely unrecognisable.
