Career Path Forecast
 According
to the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, civil engineers
are expected to experience
18 percent employment growth during the projections decade of 2006-2016.
This is faster than the average for all occupations.
Spurred by general
population growth and the related need to improve the Nation's
infrastructure, more civil engineers will be needed to design and
construct or expand transportation, water supply, and pollution control
systems and buildings and building complexes.
 They
also will be needed to repair or replace existing roads, bridges, and
other public structures.
Because construction industries and architectural, engineering and
related services employ many civil engineers, employment opportunities
will vary by geographic area and may decrease during economic slowdowns,
when construction is often curtailed.
