Civil Engineering (CVE) Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and
maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals,
dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was
defined to distinguish it from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including
environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water
resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil
engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the
private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
Opportunities exist in the public and private sectors in large numbers in all branches of design, construction and
maintenance, infrastructure development in both Mauritius and abroad. Right now constructions industry is
booming as there is growth in infrastructure requirement throughout the world. This is going to stay for next few
decades. Scope of civil engineers lies with many developing countries in Middle East, Africa, and Asia where
infrastructure development is picking up and civil engineers are in great demand.
Civil Engineers can find job in Government departments, private and public sector industries, research and
teaching institutions etc. Job opportunities for civil engineers are expected to increase as fast as the average for
all jobs, although the construction industry is vulnerable to fluctuations in the economy.
Civil engineers will always be needed to maintain and repair existing facilities and structures and to construct
new ones. After doing Bachelor degree, one can look for jobs in road projects, building work, consultancy firms,
quality testing laboratories or housing societies. The experts say there is a high demand for experienced civil
engineers in developed countries for construction of highway, skyscrapers/high raised buildings, dams,
suspension bridge and other infrastructures.
Civil engineers are employed in all the major construction projects carried out by the state or central
government, the railways, private construction companies, military, engineering services, consultancy services
etc. Civil engineering graduates can also go in for research and take up teaching or they can open their own
independent consultancy services.
