Civil Engineering

Hi Ahmed,
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. This is considered to be one of the oldest branches of engineering disciplines.
Civil Engineering is now being studied under several sub-disciplines like environmental engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, urban planning and many more.
Civil Engineering Eligibility Criteria:-
An educational career in civil engineering can be started after class 10th. Here the individual is only eligible to pursue Diploma program in civil engineering. After successful completion of the course, he/she can join as a junior engineer in various public and private sector jobs.
The minimum eligibility for doing undergraduate program i.e. BE/BTech in Civil Engineering is + 2 Science with Physics, Chemistry and Maths. The selection is generally made on the basis of entrance tests (e.g. IITJEE, AIEEE, BITSAT etc.) conducted at both national and state level.
One can also continue his/her study further by joining ME/MTech programs offered by various engineering colleges/universities including the IITs and NITs. A GATE qualification can further make one's admission process easier.
AMIE Associate Memberships of the Institution of Engineers also offers courses in civil engineering which is equivalent to BE/BTech provided by other institutes/universities.

Dear Gurmit,
Knowing how to code is a great skill. Doesn't matter if you're in sales or engineering. Start with Python. It's very powerful plus it's a lot easier to learn than C.
It really depends on what you want to achieve. I know many CEs who never do any sort of programming. It definitely isn't part of your daily activities.
But I also know a great many who do "program" as a sideline because they wanted to automate some tasks. These are very much tied to the software they use. E.g. if using something like AutoDesk's C3D chances are they do their "programming" in AutoLisp, or DotNet (C#/VBNet or more recently IronPython/-Ruby). But they've learned it more like a hobby than as part of their general work requirements. Very few of them go with other languages like C or C+ since seldom would such be a road into automation of their current software.

Viraj, There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production. you can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D vizualizations. you may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. you can get into production, whether live or animated. You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. you can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. you could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. you can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. you can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers.

Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion & expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hi Aman,

Differential equations: First order equations (linear and nonlinear), Higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients, Cauchy's and Euler's equations, Initial and boundary value problems, Laplace transforms, Solutions of one dimensional heat and wave equations and Laplace equation.
Complex variables: Analytic functions, Cauchy's integral theorem, Taylor and Laurent series.
