    Civil engineering has existed since ancient times when early humans built shelter caves for protection. Some of the earliest civil engineering projects included structures built by ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians between 4000-2000 BC, including transportation networks and large constructions like pyramids. One of the first documented civil engineers was Imhotep in ancient Egypt who built the step pyramid for King Djoser around 2550 BC using simple tools and mathematics. Throughout history, civilizations developed major engineering projects such as aqueducts, bridges, dams, roads, and irrigation systems that demonstrated the advance of the field. The modern discipline of civil engineering emerged in the 18th century with the establishment of engineering schools and societies.

    History of Civil Engineering

    - The history of Civil Engineering is a mirror of


    the history of human being on this earth. A man
    used the old shelter caves to protect themselves
    of weather and harsh environments. Which
    being the demonstration of ancient age Civil
    Engineering

    - Civil Engineering has been an aspect of life


    since the beginnings of human existence. The
    earliest practices of Civil Engineer may have
    commenced between 4000-2000bc In ancient
    Egypt MESOPOTAMIA (ANCIENT IRAQ).
    During this time transportation became
    increasingly important leading to the
    development of the wheel and sailing. Until
    modern times there was no clear distinction
    between Civil Engineer and architecture were
    mainly geographical variations referring to the
    same person.
    EXAMPLE OF THE BUILDINGS AND
    YEAR
    - The construction of pyramid in Egypt
    (CIRCA 2700-2500BC) might be considered
    the first instance of large structure
    Constructions

    - Around (2550BC) IMHOTEP, The first


    documented engineer built a famous stepped
    pyramid for king Djoser located at Saqqara
    Necropolis with simple tools and
    mathematics he created a monument that
    stand to this day, his greatest Contribution
    to engineering was his discovery of the art
    of building with shaped stones.

    - Ancient historic Civil Engineering

    management System (The oldest older 3000
    years and longer than 71km)
    - The partheon by iktinos in Ancient Greece

    the hohokam Indians Salt river AZ (600AD)

    - Machu Picchu peru built at around 1450 at


    the height of the lnca Empire is considered
    an Engineering Marvel
    - A treatise on Architecture Book Called
    Virtmuius`De Architictura was published at
    1 AD in rome and survived to give us a look
    at engineering education in ancient time
    - In the 18th century. The first engineering
    school. The National School of Bridges and
    Highways France was opened in 1747. The
    first self proclaimed Civil Engineer was
    john Smeaton who constructed the eddy
    stone lighthouse
    - In 1818, world`s first engineering society
    the institution of Civil Engineerings was
    founded in London and in 1820 the eminent
    engineer Thomas Telford became its first
    president.
    - The beginnings of civil engineering as a
    separate discipline may be seen in the
    foundation in France in 1716 of the Bridge
    and Highway Corps, out of which in 1747
    grew the Ecole Nationale des Ponts er
    Chaussees
    - In Britain James Brindley began as a
    millwright and became the foremost canal
    builder of the century; John Rennie was a
    millwright`s apprentice who eventually built
    the new London Bridge; Thomas Telford, a
    stonemason, became Britain`s leading road
    builder
