.si l l l l I ivil nginee ing l The job of the Civil Engineer varies from harnessing the elements by constructing mighty dams to pushing networks of transportation over the face of the earth. Wherever man builds and expands, the Civil Engineer finds himself confronted with many new problems. The C.
