How long does it take to become a civil engineer in US?

  • 1. How long does it take to become a CIvil Engineer in US? 2. What is their Salary in US? 3. How much does it cost to become a CIvil Engineer for a women in US? 4. What is the best University in US for CIvil Engineer? 5. Do women satisfy with their job as a Civil Engineer in US?

  • Answer:

    1) Assuming that the student has just graduated high school or secondary school, it generally takes 4 years of university-level studies to become a civil engineer. Some students participate in internships or co-op programs that involve working for a civil engineering company in between semesters of classes. These students may take 5 or 6 years. 2) Average starting salary of a civil engineer is in the range of 30,000-60,000 dollars based on grades, personality, work experience and location. 3) The cost depends greatly on the school one attends. For a student who goes to a public university of the state they grew up in, it may cost only $30,000 for tuition and books. If someone is an out-of-state student or goes to a private school, it could be much much more. 4) This is a difficult question to ask since there are many schools that would claim to be the best. In general, the best way to choose a school is based on it's value. That is, find a school that offers what you want at a price you can afford. There are many websites (such as princetonreview.com or usnews.com ) which have information about the very many schools that offer civil engineering programs in the US. 5) As with any other job, there are people who are satisfied and those who are not. Engineering in general is typically mostly male, but there are increasing numbers of women going into engineering, including civil. I know a number of female civil engineers who are quite happy with their jobs.

Ok, here is what I got after spending 5 years as an undergraduate and MEng: 1. You need to get at least a Bachelor Degree in Civil Engr before becoming a licensed Engr. It depends on how hard you study and could vary between 3 to 5 years. After graduation, you may have to take the Fundamental of Engineers exam to become licensed and work. 2. It does depends on the company and your own experience. For beginner, I would say around 45-50 k/ yr. After you work your way up to the higher chain, it would go to around 70-80 k/ yr 3. As there is no gender issue with becoming a Civil Engr, it takes the same amount if money for women and men. So, basically 4 years of tuition in a university, some testing fee and such 4. If you really want to look for the best in the U.S., there are a couple privilige school within the Civil Area: Public: UC Berkeley, U Texas at Austin, U Michigan and U Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Privale: Cooper Union, Cornell, Stanford, Purdue 5. This is a general question, so I cant really answer it but I believe that you should feel happy with your decision you made on your career and stick with it till the end
