na2016:. Bro.. civil engineering is wide as a course,not just building.builders can do some practical works for few storeys..not for up to 15 storey high rise.for lecturing,civil engineering is the hardest engineering course.ask of strength of materials and structural analysis.engine boys no say no be beans. |

Hello, Civil engineering is a diversified profession with specialities such as structural engineering, transportation/highway engineering, geotechnics, water resources/environmental engineering & civil engineering materials. Typically, at this stage of your development, you should have developed a passion in one or more of these fields of specializations which you intend to practice. If I am to take structural engineering as an example, your best approach is to seek for a consulting firm either in the infrastructural/building industry or the hydrocarbon/petrochemical industry where you will be exposed to civil engineering designs of various types of structures on diversified projects such as quay walls and anchor ties, slope stabilisation structures, high-medium rise structures, steel structures such as portal framed shelters, telecommunication masts, pipe racks, cable tray supports, etc. You will be exposed to the competent use of spreassheets and FE analysis software packages in the analysis and design of steel and RC Structures such as staadpro, sacs and etab in addtion to enhanced detailing with autocad. With this you will be building engineering capacity and learning from professionals, the intricacies and rudiments of structural engineering which you can leverage on, to handle jobs on your own by the side and make money as a professional. On the other hand, construction engineering is saturated, very competitive and is a space occupied by all sort of players such as architects, builders, etc Even masons approach potential clients and parade themselves as engrs on minor projects such as a two storey structure (single suspended floor, in good terrain without a complex foundation beyond their comprehension), and these clients do not know the distinction between these professionals. But if you are a civil engineer who is skilled in design of offshore steel structures for production fixed-jacket platforms to API/AISC codes of practice, loadout analysis and design, sea-transportation analysis and design, steel portal frame structures for shelters, filling stations' design, mooring analysis and design of breast and mooring dolphins at container loading bays, structural design of churches, steel trusses, design of shopping malls, etc you separate your self from non-professionals and make very good money as a civil engineer. So in summary, apply to engineering consulting firms as a trainee, there are a number of them. Be diligent and learn the core principles of structural design to the relevant codes of practice ( BS codes, EuroCodes, etc), you learn how to detail the structures, prepare design reports, site visit reports, material take offs and bill of quantities, etc and gradually, you'll be working your way up to becoming a professional engineer. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Try to locate some sites in Ikoyi and Lekki area. Introduce yourself politely and they will most likely allow you to come and see how things are done. Most times, you won't be paid. If anyone wants to learn manual design of reinforced concrete structures, please reach me on 07069772415 (calls and WhatsApp). I can teach you at a very affordable fee. I can also introduce you to the use of ProtaStructure design software. Thank you. 2 Likes |

Message me if you're in Delta States. Civil Engineering is an interesting and lucrative occupation. The need for civil engineers are on the increase. Politicians, Businesspersons, corporate entities, cooperatives, Yahoo boys and developers are building estates and mansions all over Nigeria. Just get connected to me and I will link you up. I'm a civil engineer doing excellently well. Civil engineering occupation is still very fresh and promising in Nigeria. Nigeria has not really developed. I'm always proud of being a civil engineer earning 6 figures... 1 Like |

Visit construction sites around you (they are many) and offer yourself to work for free. I started this way and I remember they always gave me an envelop of money at the end of the project and MOST importantly my early practical lessons in construction came this way. Today, my company does construction civil contracts etc. I wish you well bro 1 Like |
