Introduction
In the last few decades,
Information Technology (IT) has
changed the way we do many
things, including civil
engineering. This presentation
will show how IT has made it
easier and better to design,
build, and manage projects like
roads, bridges, and buildings.
We will look at the new
technologies being used, how
they are applied in real projects,
and the benefits they bring, such
as saving time, reducing costs,
and improving safety.
Historical Background
