Career Path Forecast
 According
to the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, civil engineers
are expected
to have employment growth of 24 percent between 2008 and 2018, much
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.
