= History of civil engineering = Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that involves infrastructure, from planning to designing, construction, operation and maintenance. It also involves improvement of existing infrastructures. Much like other engineering fields, aspects of life that people can take for granted are possible thanks to civil engineering, such as buildings, roads, power supplies, transportation and communication systems. Civil Engineering has been used since the beginning of civilization, being necessary for the development of settlements, although individuals who practiced civil engineering were not always known as civil engineers.

Advances in physics and material sciences throughout history has allowed the discipline to become more complex and has allowed for more designs.
