• Civil Engineering is the field, discipline, or profession that relates to the development, acquisition and application of technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge of the design and construction of public works, such as dams, bridges and other large infrastructure projects (UNESCO, 2010; Lucas, 2014). It is one of the oldest branches of engineering, dating back to when people first began to live in permanent settlements and started shaping their environments to suit their needs Lucas (2014).
