Civil engineering is one of the most sought-after branches of engineering and arguably one of the oldest in human history. For thousands of years, people have built impressive monuments that have stood the test of time, all thanks to the dedication of civil engineers.

Women in civil engineering: Challenging gender stereotypes

The Responsibilities of a Civil Engineer

A civil engineer may be concerned with several tasks. The civil engineer is responsible for planning and supervising the construction and renovation of structures, rail and road projects, and local and national infrastructure.

It is a diverse field with great scope and added prestige. There is usually going to be a want for well-certified civil engineers, making this profession one of the maximum futuristic selections to stand the check of time.

Challenging Gender Stereotypes

Even though the number of women in engineering has increased, most girls are attracted to IT or computer science. Civil engineering is traditionally male-dominated industry, as this profession requires not only manual skills but also physical stamina.

However, with major advances in technology, this is no longer a barrier for  girls to pursue a career in civil engineering.

Women in Indian Civil Engineering

In India, women make up the workforce at many construction sites but at an engineering school, few girls choose this branch. Determined to break stereotypes, several girls take the course and volunteer for a job. where they have to work on a construction site. When it comes to choosing a field like construction, mechanical, or electrical, girls are confronted with statements like “this field is not for you”.

Overcoming Stereotypes

All girls wishing to embark on a civil engineering path should not hesitate only because of the line drawn by the society of the division of sectors according to gender.

If you have the attitude, nothing can stop you from achieving your goal. Women can work their qualities to their advantage working in a civil engineering sector because of following reasons.

1. Unique Perspective and Creativity

Women can bring a different perspective when designing and executing a project, which will have a huge positive impact on creating aesthetically appealing structures.

2. Multitasking Abilities

Women are known for their multitasking abilities. It may not be easy for women to break into civil engineering, but it’s not as hard as it sounds. Today we have several prolific female engineers who have made their mark with their intelligence.

3. Leveraging Unique Qualities

Women can succeed in the civil engineering sector by utilizing their unique qualities such as attention to detail, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Conclusion

Civil engineering is a field that offers immense potential for women to make their mark. It’s time to break free from the gender stereotypes that have held women back and encourage them to explore this dynamic profession. Women have the potential to bring creativity, innovation, and a fresh perspective to civil engineering, making it an exciting and rewarding career choice.

Organizations like CADD Centre offer specialized civil engineering courses to support women in navigating the challenges of a male-dominated industry and bring diverse perspectives to their projects.

Engineering, construction, procurement, and project management are something every business organization dream to achieve in the market. Many big and small organizations strive to become flexible service providers by offering a comprehensive project portfolio to ensure project success. This includes pre-investment consultancy, engineering design and product development, risk analysis, project management, construction, and implementation.

Project Management is a critical area when it comes to engineering. It involves applying skills, knowledge, techniques, and the use of various tools to meet the project management requirements. These tools, techniques, and skills are never predefined and solely depend upon the type of the project, the stakeholder, the project life cycle, and several other variables.

Sometimes a question arises what is the need for Project Engineering Management when the projects are relatively smaller or in the case of personal projects. Well, the answer lies in the fact that without proper management of these engineering projects, the risk of failure increases. When a proper risk assessment plan in the case of engineering projects is implemented, it saves a huge amount of time that would have been wasted to find the solution to the problem which could have been prevented otherwise.

Successful Project Engineering Management needs a clear understanding of people that are capable of completing the project within time and cost limits without compromising the quality. The size of the project is never a matter of concern in such a case. Proper management of the project is always important in order to minimize the chances of failure due to poor management methods.

An organization, therefore, prefers to work with a project manager who is responsible for planning, executing, managing, and closing a project after meeting all the requirements. His responsibilities also include tasks such as developing the budget and schedule of the project he is responsible for. To achieve this level of proficiency, business houses are hiring certified engineering project managers from an engineering discipline.

To meet this demanding market need and to help professionals gain success in the field of engineering project management, CADD Centre is offering dedicated courses for candidates. Students and professionals who wish to make a career in the field of project engineering management can get certified and accelerate on their career path with a world-recognized certification.
