土木工程致力于创造性地运用工程原理和科学来塑造和改善我们的生活和环境。土木工程师参与了从设计到施工再到竣工的重大基础设施项目。土木工程师的工作重点是针对陆上和海上的建筑环境和自然环境进行可持续设计。土木工程师设计，建造，维护和管理道路，铁路，大坝，建筑物，机场，医院，学校，港口和体育场，海上设施，海底系统和可再生能源设施。他们设计了供水和水处理系统以及河流管理，洪水和沿海保护计划。
Civil Engineering is all about the environment and infrastructure that makes up the modern world. Civil Engineers design, build and maintain our roads, railways, airports, dams, industrial facilities, power stations, coastal protection and harbour works, hospitals, sports stadiums and much more.<br>If you are interested in making lasting, positive improvements to society, in sustainable design for the protection of the natural environment on land or at sea, in improving the quality of life for millions of people using novel building techniques and materials, then civil engineering is an excellent choice.<br>Civil Engineers design, build and maintain (and decommission where appropriate) everything from transport infrastructure to power stations, from oil refineries to renewable energy schemes, hospitals, stadiums and much more. Civil Engineers also design water supply and effluent treatment systems and flood protection and environmental protection schemes and help keep our infrastructure working effectively by adapting to challenges like population growth or climate change.<br>At Aberdeen, you will be taught by leading Civil Engineering experts whose research covers areas such as environmental and industrial fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, structural mechanics and transport studies. Our teaching is supported by our excellent workshop and laboratories, with state-of-the-art equipment, including some of Scotland's very best hydraulic equipment. The first two years of our engineering degrees cover general engineering, with elements of chemical, mechanical, petroleum and electrical/electronics, as well as civil. In the later years, you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin your third year. Our 4-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) programmes are accredited as fully meeting the educational requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng). After the first two years, students on the four-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) have the opportunity to pursue the 5-year Masters of Engineering in their chosen discipline.<br><br>The School of Engineering has strong links with industry, including local, national and international organisations, who<br>support our teaching through guest lectures and seminars, placement opportunities, site visits and scholarships.
