9. 9 What are Civil Engineers? Civil and environmental engineering is a profession that applies technology to meet society's needs. Civil and environmental engineers are essential to provide buildings, clean water, roadways, and the protection of the natural environment. With the advent of new information technologies, civil and environmental engineering is at the intersection of the built, natural and information environments.
