Answer 1

Hello, I happen to have a cousin who works as an estimator for his office, a construction consultant, he's also a drafter (hope I spelled it right) and he once asked me, knowing I was a coder, if I could do him a favor, to integrate his AutoCAD data with a program so the calculation can be made easier, unfortunately for me, I didn't know how to read data from it, so it went south.

My point is, civil engineering surely would involve any calculation, even at a small part, so I guess looking at my unfortunate story you know, programming skills can come handy at some point, for example, to easily calculate how much material needed, which material suits best for the project, workers needed, and lastly, the cost estimation.

Well, that's just my idea about it, hope it could bring you some also :)
