Kelley Klimas Added Monday, March 5, 2018 at 6:03 PM Hello! I graduated with a Civil Engineering degree back in 1999. Since then I have not used my degree (I have good reasons).

Morgan asked Christina Castillo, Fox and Associates, Inc. Added Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 11:38 AM Hello! I am a Junior in Highschool and have been considering Architecture for a fairly long time only to find it is very often very hard to find good jobs. Would Civil Engineering be a better option? I have done a lot of research and it seems like I could do a fairly similar job (only it seems like with much less designing :( ) with more job security. I was wondering how true this is and if it is possible to have flexible hours as a Civil Engineer. Thankyou so much!!! Answers 1 Christina Castillo, Fox and Associates, Inc.

Theresa, Portland Added Friday, November 11, 2016 at 2:28 PM Traditional masters in civil engineering and MBAs Hello! I am wondering what other helpful master degrees do civil engineers have besides the traditional masters in civil engineering and MBAs? Especially those in the fields of transportation, structural, and geotechnical, since those are what I'm interested in. I'm thinking about a master's in architecture to understand the design viewpoint of architects regarding infrastructures. Or perhaps a specialization in civil engineering for my master's. Thank you! Theresa Answers 1 Christina Castillo, Fox and Associates, Inc. Answered Friday, November 11, 2016 at 2:28 PM Hi Theresa. I have been working in the civil industry for about 4years now, I don't have a masters degree but from my experience Masters degrees are specialized based on the field of civil that you want to go into. I will also say that not all areas ...

I'm a junior in high school looking to become an environmental engineer, but I'm having troubling deciding on a major. The college that I want to go to doesn't have and environmental or civil engineering option, but it does offer civil engineering technology and I'm not sure exactly what that is?

I love working multiple tasks , and find myself to be a quick learner. But I still haven't got a very clear picture of what female engineers do and I was curious of how it is.
