'''Construction Engineering''' is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and management of infrastructures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities. Construction engineers are unique such that they are a cross between civil engineers and construction managers. Construction engineers learn the designing aspect much like civil engineers and construction site management functions much like construction managers. | '''Construction Engineering''' is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and management of infrastructures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities.

Depending on which career path the construction engineer has chosen to follow, an entry-level design engineer normally provide support to project managers and assist with creating conceptual designs,scopes, and cost estimates for the planning and construction of approved projects. It should be noted that a career in design work does require a professional engineer license (PE). Individuals who pursue this career path are strongly advised to sit for the Engineer In Training exam (EIT) while in college as it takes five years post graduate to obtain the PE license. | Depending on which career path the construction engineer has chosen to follow, an entry-level design engineer normally provide support to project managers and assist with creating conceptual designs,scopes, and cost estimates for the planning and construction of approved projects.

The average salary for a civil engineer in the UK depends on the sector, and more specifically the level of experience of the individual. A 2010 survey of the remuneration and benefits of those occupying jobs in construction and the built environment industry showed that the average salary of a civil engineer in the UK is £29,582. The average salary varies depending on experience, for example the average annual salary for a civil engineer with between 3 and 6 years experience is £23,813. For those with between 14 and 20 years experience the average is £38,214. | The average salary for a civil engineer in the UK depends on the sector, and more specifically the level of experience of the individual.
