Is Civil Engineering Easy?

Is Civil Engineering Easy or hard?

Hi guys good morning / evening today i am going to explained that is civil engineering easy or hard ?

it is very important topic for those who wanna be a civil engineering and doing schooling still and the one who is doing study of civil engineering and do not know the actual about what is civil engineering and i will give you link in the end of the article to make easy to understand the topic so lets get start

As a practitioner:

The great difficulty lies in the many many stuff that a civil engineer has to think about at the same time. Money, time, safety: Good design.
You change one thing, another thing also changes. So, you want to fine-tune everything so as to get the overall best result (like finding a extrema point on an N dimensional graph :D ). As a student, you can feel that this can get chaotic, but you don’t usually feel this because many courses do not intersect (one course might have to do with hydraulic pipes, another might have to do with the static analysis of your model/building and another with the dynamical analysis). But as a practitioner it can get tense because when practicing civil engineering, you do have to consider all those parameters you independently considered during courses but now all at the same time

As a student:

What I can say is this: As a student, it is easier than studying mathematics or physics. The reason for this is that in civil engineering, one only has to have common sense. There are no electromagnetic fields (as in electrical engineering), no quantum mechanics (it is present in mechanical engineering in elementary form), etc. The concepts of stress, forces, deformation are king here. All of these are intuitive and you gain more intuition easily because they are stuff from everyday life or/and can be seen as analogies of everyday things.
Now, don’t get me wrong, a civil engineering (CEE) student takes many physics and mathematics courses. I am just referring to the main core of the major, the civil engineering of Civil Engineering! This is by no means easy; it’s just that it can confuse you much less than other studies I think because there are not too many abstract concepts to be found in CEE.

Conclusion:

As a student, it’s not so difficult compared to some other majors due to not having may abstract concepts but as a practitioner it can be the most difficult. To be good at it, either as practitioner or as a student, you have to be smart and practical!
