Attributes of a civil engineer

In order to carry out the engineering work outlined above, a civil engineer is likely to possess certain attributes, in addition to the abilities and skills acquired through the educational process of a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree program described in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. These attributes are listed here. 

Analytical and Oi anized. The application of the vast amount of knowledge in civil engineering to solving real-life problems requires an analytical approach and an organized mind. Civil engineers are generally very organized in their daily lives as well. 

Bold in Conception and Carefid in Details. Seeking solutions to real-life problems requires a bold conceptual design. Every new project is different and requires the exploration of different solution outlines. In carrying out the details of the design, the civil engineer must be careful in every step to ensure safety and accuracy. 

Creative but Conservative. Finding new and economical solutions to civil engineering problems requires a creative mind that thinks beyond the accepted and regular practices, but the reliability and safety of the created product requires a conservative assessment in every aspect, because for every civil engineering product, failure is not an option. 

Dependable andTrustworthy. Civil engineers depend on each other in teamwork. Everyone is entrusted to produce reliable and accurate work. Civil engineering projects are all time-sensitive. On-time delivery is highly valued and even financially rewarded as may be written in a contract.
