Introduction
Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering
GMIT Galway Campus
Have you ever wondered how clean water gets to the tap, how 15-story buildings and 3 km long suspension bridges stay standing, what caused the Tower of Pisa to lean? If you like variety, civil engineering offers a huge range of different types of projects on which you could be employed: roads, bridges, pipelines, buildings, sewage treatment plants, dams, jetties, etc.
If you like the idea of having a variety of duties on a day-to-day basis: supervising tradesmen on site, attending meetings with architects, quantity surveyors, and building managers, surveying a field to assess its suitability as a building site, using computer software to carry out engineering calculations and produce drawings, etc.
A career in civil engineering offers all this and more.
