Necessary Education
To be a Civil Engineer one must at least have a bachelor degree from an accredited program. Most engineers start out by taking physics and chemistry along with an advanced mathematics class. One may also take Computer Aided Design (CAD) at any point and as one progresses then he or she will take thermodynamics and structural analysis. Also engineering statistics courses are very helpful. After one gets hired as an engineer that person will have to gain his Professional Engineer (PE) state licence which requires four years of work and passing two exams administered by the state. School isn't over though BLS notes that most states have implemented mandatory furthering education to maintain the license.
