Nasly, Jersey city AddedTuesday, August 18, 2015 at 12:39 AM do civil engineers travel a lot? Hello, I'm currently a student at a community college majoring in Engineering Science. After I get my Associate I would like to major in Civil Engineering, but I'm kind of wondering if this means that I have to travel a lot. I don't like traveling. So my question is does civil engineers travel a lot?

It simply depends on your employer and the type of engineering work you do. Working on the construction side of civil engineering will often require more travel, since work occurs on the project site. The project planning and development side is typically done in an office setting, and often requires less travel. I would suggest researching engineering companies you’re interested in. You should also talk to other engineers to find out how much they travel. I would highly recommend seeking internships with engineering firms while you are in school, which will allow you to see many different options available to civil engineers. Good luck!
