The Joys of Civil Engineering

Anyone who has visited Singapore will still remember some sites even if they can't remember anything else about Singapore. And those are, construction sites. Singapore is abundant with construction sites, and I am a Civil Engineer in training. I am a 2nd year Civil Engineering student at the National University of Singapore. And this blog, is an introduction to Civil Engineering to all of you non-civil engineers out there.

There are several advantages of being in civil engineering.

1. You get to learn cool equations (which are almost impossible to forget)
eg. fct = k fcu
2. You get to play with mud and sand and dirt (and your mom can't do anything about it..haha!)
3. You get to play outdoors everyday (Breath fresh air at work, instead of inhaling the chlorinating fumes of a hospital, or air-conditioned office)
4. You get to .... err...err...forgot the last one (let me get back to that)

Anyway, as you can see, there are many benefits to Civil Engineering, and only a few people in this world really know what a civil engineer does. Aside from the 3 (or possibly 4) fun stuff civil engineers do, they also design/build stuff like roads, bridges, highways, roads, buildings, castles, mansions, roads, apartments, roads etc..

Without civil engineers, civilisation ceases to exist (duhh...civil engineers, vis-à-vis civilisation). And this not only applies to civilisations; cause without civil engineers, civil servants die, civilians die, civil rights die, civil aviation dies, civil ships sink, civil cars crash, civil stock markets fall, civil countries disappear(Note: the US will never disappear) and anything that is civil will be annihilated from the face of the Earth.

So that’s why civil engineers are important. And that’s why I'm studying civil engineering, cause you will always need a civil engineer for engineering civil ...err...civil...err..stuff.

Please visit these sites if you want to know more about civil engineering.

Did you know that a civil engineer created the slippery part of the water slide?
The Trojan Horse was built by a civil engineer

And if you want to civil know more about civil engineering, please leave a civil comment on this civil blog, and I'll civil think about it.
