Perks Of Becoming A Civil Engineer


Civil engineering involves the profession of developing infrastructure projects. Civil engineers are dedicated to building and maintaining man-made products and constructions, including roads, bridges, canals, dams, buildings, and more at both small scales to huge-scaled projects.
Reasons To Become A Civil Engineer
With nearly 1.5 million engineers graduating in India every year, the country needs approximately 4 million civil engineers, over the next decade, to deliver potential and planned infrastructure. This means that the industry is high-on-demand and will have ample career opportunities in the future.

Civil Engineers: The Unsung Heroes Of Engineering World
The civil engineering discipline is an integral and crucial part of planning, designing and creating everything - right from skyscrapers, elaborate stadiums to railways, bridges, and tunnels. The work of civil engineer influences where people work, relax and live. You will contribute to helping society become more advanced and meet challenges brought on by new technologies, population growth and climate change. 

A Sense of Accomplishment Makes It All Worthwhile
The Civil Engineering profession includes a tremendous sense of achievement to make it all worthwhile. If we see history, civil engineers have participated in some of the most incremental projects known to humankind. As a civil engineer, you will know all the challenges and effort that went into transforming the blueprints into a fully functional structure.

Get To See The Bigger Picture
Despite your area of specialization, as a civil engineer, you will be sensitive to the environmental challenges coping up with the requirements of different construction projects. A civil engineer has attention to detail while he/she simultaneously understands "the bigger picture". 
Civil engineers can never fail to be versatile despite facing a broad spectrum of challenges. They can work below the surface, in tunnels, underground railways as well as above the surface creating roads, bridges, hospitals, skyscrapers and many other vital pieces of infrastructure.

What are the Benefits of Civil Engineering?
Those who work in the field of Civil Engineering are the ones behind the infrastructure setup we live in - the roads we walk on to how waste is disposed of. 
If you'd also like to make your mark on the world, we have listed some reasons/benefits of why Civil Engineering may be the one choice for you:

  1. Engineers work on the construction design along with other engineers and senior architects. This means civil engineers are the ones who decide on the most suitable methods, budgets, materials, project drawings, schedule equipment purchases, review and make changes in the projects wherever necessary or according to the requirements of the client. 
  1. Most of the civil engineers go for government jobs. For example, civil engineers are in high demand in Government/Private railway projects in India to design transportation infrastructure via Metros, Bullet trains, etc. 
  1. An advancement in civil engineering also paves the way for better pay as well as supervisory roles.
Though civil engineering is an attractive career choice; this industry also demands good education and extensive working experience for stability from future prospects. This is why a degree in engineering is a prerequisite and the foundation for excelling in this field.
  1. Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines. Hence, colleges and establishments provide several measures to impart the quality expertise and capabilities to the students so that they can execute their skills and knowledge via implementing it without difficulty and accurately.
  1. After studying the subject, you might find out that a career directly related to Civil Engineering is not suitable for you because you can be employed in numerous other professions. Your skills would already include problem-solving, decision-making, analytics. What's more is that students' knowledge of science and technology would be already firmly refined and would go on for jobs in research, teaching, etc.
In short, you’ll learn valuable transferrable skills for other professions under the Civil Engineering course.


Job Opportunities
Civil engineering is a field that shapes the real world. Civil engineers can pursue jobs addressing in any of these areas such as structural engineering, transportation engineering, architectural engineering or geotechnical engineering. They help to offer modern-day solutions to global concerns like pollution, transportation and water supply.
Studying Civil Engineering
Civil engineering programs include foundation subjects that concern designing and maintaining products and constructions. These are complemented with the development of design skills - computer-aided design to be specific. 
The final year of a B.Tech program in Civil Engineering degree involves the conception of several personal or team projects.
Industry visits and field trips are an essential part of the civil engineering course to provide further on-the-job training and real-life application of knowledge.
Overall, the civil engineering industry is vital from the aspect that it delivers value to the society through their capabilities of bringing infrastructure revolution - the one that could change the way people live.

Railway Engineering: A Beginner’s Perspective – Introduction

Image
  The need of transportation was felt since the start of primitive civilization and with the human beings began shifting goods and people from one place to another. However this cumbersome task was done either as a head loads or in carts drawn by men or animals. However the advancement of civilization and progress in modern science and technology added new elements in the transportation systems such as steam powered engines followed by diesel or petrol and then electric powered engines. These stepwise new additions in to railway systems revolutionized transportation sector, which not only enhanced ease with which shifting of goods is done but also the volume of goods to be transported at longer distances within shorter times. Hence this system found superior to any other transpiration systems available. A rail system has proved to be a real vehicle for civilizational transformation and assimilation. Needless to say that one must learn more about the rail systems and its components. W

The Barsi Light Railway

      The Barsi Light Railway between Latur and Miraj in Maharashtra was a pre-independence private company.) And set up a private company with a share capital of Rs. 7,014,477. The company's office was permanently located at Winchester House, Broad street, London. The Narrow-Gauge Railway, 2 feet 6 inches wide, was started on March 1, 1897, just 9 feet wide along Kurduwadi Barshi Road. The company's India office was initially located in Barshi and later in Kurduwadi. A. L. Alexander was appointed chief manager and agent. The duo of Alexander and Calthrop brought BLR a golden day by night. His salary was 2200 and 1500 rupees per month. Initially built only for Barshi Road (Kurduwadi) to Barshi, it grew to 323 km from Latur to Miraj in 1927, becoming the largest private narrow gauge railway in India. Due to the Warakaris going to Pandharpur, this vehicle was called the vehicle of God. Even on Ashadi Ekadashi, people used to sit not only on the train tracks but also in front of t

Indian Railways Toilet System

  Indian Railways serve 7,000 stations and 22 million passengers daily. Indian Railways commits to provide clients with safe and trustworthy train services, as well as clean and hygienic surroundings on trains and in stations. There are only 1600 long-distance trains. Suburban trains cover an average of 42 km. The remaining 4700 trains are estimated to be 3100 passenger trains traveling 50 to 250 km and 1600 mail/express trains operating 300 to 2400 km. Mail and fast trains are filthy. Both must be addressed. Even if we haven't done so, it would be fascinating to look at the train profile's duration and time (two or more nights or one night and arriving early in the morning) in terms of biological functioning and cultural norms. In the early days of the IR, lower-class train coaches had no bathrooms. On July 2, 1909, Babu Okhil Chandra Sen complained to Sahibganj [1]. Here's the letter Later, all lower-class trains traveling over 50 kilometers were expected to have ba
