Civil engineering is the oldest engineering branch in the world. While it is often associated with the construction of multi-story buildings, civil engineering encompasses much more, including the design and construction of roads, dams, bridges, and various other infrastructures. The demand for civil engineering remains strong even today. The evolution of mankind from living in caves to tall skyscrapers is an example of how civil engineering has evolved over the years as well. Ancient Roman structures like amphitheaters to well-designed drainage systems in our own Indus Valley civilisation are all examples of civil engineering over the ages. And today, the demand for civil engineers all over the globe is as strong as ever. Let us know about the top 5 universities famous for civil engineering.
