2. Diploma in Civil Engineering

Diploma in Civil Engineering is a 3 years long Diploma certificate program. After passing 10th and 12th standard, students are eligible to pursue this program. Civil Engineering is one of the core branches of engineering. It is the second oldest engineering branch. It is an engineering discipline that focuses on design, planning, construction and maintenance of physically built as well as natural environment. It is a very diverse field, consisting of various sub branches. Dams, roads, buildings, canals etc are examples of physically built structures. Diploma programs in "Civil Engineering" are not typically offered in the United States. Instead, students might consider an associate's degree program in civil engineering technology, to prepare for engineer technician careers. Many schools offer pre-engineering programs for students who are required to complete prerequisite courses before being admitted into civil engineering programs. A bachelor's degree in civil engineering can be preparation for a career as a licensed civil engineer. Certification is offered within many sub-disciplines of the profession. When we think about civil engineering, the first thing that comes to our mind is buildings! But civil engineers do more than just designing and constructing buildings! Civil engineers have the potential to work across various industries that require construction.

Associate's Degree Programs in Technology

Associate's degree programs in civil engineering technology are typically 2-Years and 3-Years programs leading to a degree, such as an Associate of Applied Science in Civil Engineering Technology. As engineering technicians, graduates might assist licensed engineers on construction and development projects. A high school diploma or equivalent is required for admission.
Students learn principles of civil engineering, including structural principles, material properties and environmental factors, as well as technical skills, such as surveying and drafting. Topics of study include fluid mechanics, calculus and route surveying in addition to the following:
Computer-aided drawing
Materials strength
Hydraulics and hydrology
Topographic drawing

The work of a civil engineer involves lots of drawing, sketching, planning, site work, material and human resource management, cost estimation, project planning and management, data collection and analysis, site supervision and finance management.
To become a successful civil engineer, one must possess a set of skills and qualities. They are-
-Good at mathematics and numbers
-Good at drawing, planning and sketching
-Good at reading plans
-Good at surveying
-Good at cost estimation and finance management
-Good computer knowledge (especially CAD)
-Resource and man management skills
-Good communication skills
-Time management, ability to respect deadlines
-Knowledge about environmental and legal aspects
