我是一个civil engine final year stu,下面几位junior提了很多问题，我很理解各位的迷惑心情，因为我也曾经有过有了问题不知道问谁的经历，呵呵。每年的情况都不一样，各人看法也不同，以下是我是我所知道的情况（我们这届的）和我个人的看法，仅供参考，希望会对各位有点帮助。
1．Is civil engineering a good choice? Well, it is quite subjective. It depends on ur strength, interest as well as ur expectation for ur career etc. I agree that they are and will be a lot of opportunities in the construction industry in China due the fast development of economy.
2．For current yr4 civil engineering stu, although,we were told there are a few areas for us to specialize in,eg,stru, environmental, infrastructure an so on, we have not been streamed into them all. Some yr 4 stu participated in a program called “specialization in environment” or something like, for them, their fyp must be within the environ area. Basically, u can know the content of each area by their names, right? I am not sure whether u are required to specialize in certain area(s) by taking certain courses. If yes, you have to make ur own choice.
3．I notice someone below says he likes designing buildings. Well, I have to say that, most of time, buildings are designed by architects and we civil engineers are more on the construction side. Morever, transportation does not deals with the construction and maintenance of the roads only, any thing related to transportation is involved-u will know more abt it if u take some courses on transport in the future.
4．I don’t know too much abt offshore engineering coz there are few modules offered on offshore for us to take. U may approach ur prof for more info. Nevertheless, offshore engin involves the designing and construction of the offshore structures. In Singapore offshore is a rising industry and expanding very fast while it is still under development in China. There are a few local companies, like KBR, which are the top and leading offshore companies in the world, of course, it is not easy to enter them
Good luck and enjoy ur studying in civil engineering:)
