History of Civil Engineering
The Institution Of Civil Engineering was founded in France during the 18th Century.
The first recorded civil engineer was John Smeaton who hailed from England.
Since the year 1761 civil engineers have been largely responsible for clean running water and sanitary systems that have saved limitless lives. A small group of engineers in London, consisting of a group of young men, formed the ICE in 1818 or The Institution of Civil Engineers as we have come to know it. The institution has offices all over the world, but has its base in London, where the exchange of ideas pertaining to all civil engineering matters takes place.
Civil engineering ensures that clean water is supplied by erecting reservoirs, dams, canals; the responsibility of civil engineers is for the purification of water and there is involvement in both agribusiness and geosynthetics on a large scale.
Clean water is essential for the health and safety of whole communities, therefore the role that civil engineers play in today’s modern world is essential for the safety and health of whole communities.
There is often a lack of clean drinking water in undeveloped and rural areas. Access to clean water is the right of every individual, therefore the role that civil engineers play is essential and life-saving for millions of individuals.
