    The field of civil engineering is the most visible of the engineering disciplines.  The highways and streets we drive on; the airports, harbors, and railroads that connect our country; the water and sewer systems that protect our health; and the dikes and dams that protect our property are all the product of the civil engineering team.  The environmental option will provide preparation that allows the civil engineering technician to support civil engineers in the environmental issues related to all areas of city, county and state infrastructure.
