What is it like being a civil engineer?

Hi Jed! Great question. There are different types of engineers that all have different roles and tasks. In my experience, Civil engineers do much of the designing. They draw out sketches, build mini prototypes, and such to come up with the best ways to design bridges, houses and other structures. Maybe you will be interested in mechanical engineering as well. It is similar, mechanical engineers focus more on mechanical products such as cars, airplanes, engines, and how the parts work together. I hope this helps!
