Question

What type of assignments do civil engineers do at university?

Answer 1

I am a Civil Engineering student in the US.  After all the general math and physics courses, the engineering classes teach you about every discipline of the industry.  Homework consists of doing relatively basic designs of each field (Structures, Hydraulics, Surveying, Highways/Transportation, Environmental, Geotech).  You will do a lot of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and a little bit of calculus.  If you are good at algebra, the classes are manageable, and even if you aren't, many of the instructors give you the answers, so you can check your work when finished.
