This essentially requires them to take a multitude of challenging engineering science and design courses as part of obtaining a 4-year accredited degree.

Individuals who pursue this career path are strongly advised to sit for the Engineer in Training exam (EIT), also, referred to as the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE) while in college as it takes five years' (4 years in USA) post-graduate to obtain the PE license.

ABET accreditation is assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students.

In the US there are currently twenty-five programs that exist in the entire country so careful college consideration is advised.

Graduate schools may be an option for those who want to go further in depth of the construction and engineering subjects taught at the undergraduate level.

For example, starting in 2008 and continuing until at least 2011, job prospects have been poor due to the collapse of housing bubbles in many parts of the world.

[6] The average salary for a civil engineer in the UK depends on the sector and more specifically the level of experience of the individual.

A 2010 survey of the remuneration and benefits of those occupying jobs in construction and the built environment industry[7] showed that the average salary of a civil engineer in the UK is £29,582.
