Is civil is evergreen and easier than electrical engineering?
Answer (1)
Your answer is here....
Basically, electrical engineers do the following:
Evaluates electrical systems, products, components and applications by designing and conducting research
Applying knowledge of electricity and materials to design and troubleshoot systems
Confirms systems and components through testing (validation/verification)
Determines testing properties (requirements) and assesses system capabilities
Electrical engineering projects can can range from electrical generation, power distribution, structural wiring, computer networks and facilities, consumer product design, micro-circuitry, to the software and operating system that drives cars, avionics, and your cell phone. Some will say that computer engineering is a sub-field of electrical engineering (I would agree with this).
In cooperation with mechanical engineers, electrical engineering is growing into robotics, factory automation systems, and artificial intelligence. Computer engineers and computer scientists work as part of the teams that design, develop, and deploy these systems, too.
By contrast, civil engineers work as follows:
Create solutions to build/create, improve and protect the environment we live and work in
Plan, design, and oversee construction and maintenance of building structures, infrastructure (roads, railways, airports, bridges, harbours, dams, irrigation projects, power plants, water and sewerage systems)
Plan, design, and implement transportation systems, including traffic patterns and whatever it is that makes the system move
Civil engineers also perform geo-technical assessments and remediation solutions
The main disciplines within civil engineering include structural engineering, power systems, public health (mainly water and sewer), transportation systems, maritime & hydraulic engineering, and geo-technical engineering.
This list of civil engineering functions is by no means exclusive. Civil engineering is one of the oldest and broadest branches of engineering. Consulting engineers general design a project, while contracting civil engineers oversee or supervise the implementation. I have worked with civil engineers who have designed the hydraulics on spacecraft (think in terms of flow dynamics) and test facilities where we perform software testing for aircraft systems.
I tend to like civil engineering a lot because its a pretty wide-open field, and the civil engineer will draw engineers in other disciplines in as needed.
