Dear Rao, if your question is on the same lines of Civil Engineering, you can try studying Architecture. Is Civil Engineering good for an Architect?
These two professions are inter related. While an Architect brings to life the Customer's imagination on paper, a Civil Engineer brings the imagination into existence. So even while pursuing the course Architects are taught on how to deal with planning aspects while Civil Engineers are taught about the designing. If an Architect wants to learn the Technical aspects of how to bring his imagination on paper to existence, it is considered a good option. He/she would come up with ideas that are more realistic and practical. But if you want to know the courses that are better than Civil in general, there are many and we cany just name one or two.
