As a civil engineer you must have knowledge of all the subjects which are mentioned below, When you work in construction industry as a civil engineer or site engineer or in some other position you must have a knowledge of all the subject. I must say if you ignore any of these subject then your a incomplete civil engineer.
Following subjects are majors subjects in civil engineering:
- Concrete technology
- Surveying (I & II)
- Structural analysis ( I&II)
- Transportation engineering (which includes, Basic transportation & Highway engineering)
- Geo-technical engineering (soil mechanics)
- Environmental engineering
- Fluid mechanics
- Strength of material (Also known as Solid mechanics)
- Water resource engineering ( I & II)
- Building planning (urban/town planning)
- Heavy construction and project management
- Building materials
- Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
- Design of steel structures (Which includes, Design of industrial structures)
- Earthquake engineering
- Estimation and cost analysis
- Bridge engineering
- Engineering mathematics ( I, II & III)
If we talk about the important subjects in the civil engineering, then it’s depends upon the job profile.
Town planner/urban planner
subjects:
- Building planning & Urban planning
- Water resource engineering ( I & II)
Site engineer
Subjects:
- Concrete technology
- surveying
- Environmental engineering
- Building materials
- Structural analysis
- Strength of material
- Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures (basic idea)
- Design of steel structures (basic idea)
- Geo-technical engineering
- Earthquake engineering (basic idea)
- Bridge engineering (He should have basic idea of this subject, If he is site engineer in bridge construction )
Highway engineer
Subjects:
- Building materials
- Surveying (I & II)
- Transportation engineering (which includes, Basic transportation & Highway engineering)
- Strength of material
- Concrete technology

- Concrete technology
- Heavy construction and project management (basic idea)
Am very grateful for this vital information…
Indeed civil engineering is a knowledge base course…
