Qualification Required & Experience

Critical Thinking:
Civil engineers are often confronted with complex problems and must be able to identify the most reasonable approach in dealing with them, as well as effectively and accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses of possible solutions. This includes the ability to reason inductively and deductively, applying general rules to specific problems and combining many specific pieces of information to form broad conclusions.

Visualisation:
The ability to imagine what something will look like when it’s finished and visualize how complex components will come together is one of the most important skills a civil engineer can have. Visualization skills must be flexible and dynamic in order to identify and resolve issues before they can become problems. Because there are so many component parts to large-scale projects, civil engineers must be able to envision how the interrelationships change when one or more individual aspects are changed.

Communication Skills:
Must interact with such a wide variety of professionals,must be able to communicate effectively with different types of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Must be skilled “active listeners,” to get the full benefit from the ideas of others and communicate their own ideas both orally and in writing, often to those without a background in engineering.

Technical Skills :
Advanced skills in mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and statistics are crucial to a civil engineer, who must apply the appropriate mathematical formulas and principles in his design work as well as to problem solving. Must be skilled in architectural design techniques and working with blueprints, maps, drawings and models, as well as computer programs used in architectural design and construction.

Project Management:
Must be able to evaluate the work of others on the project and make sure they are in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards.
