What is the future scope of Civil Engineering? As I have a lot of interest in computers how much is it related to computer based softwares?

In India, the construction industry comprises of the urban development segment and real estate in general. The urban development segment includes urban transport, water supply, healthcare, sanitation, and schools. Whereas, the real estate segment encapsulates office, residential, hotels, shopping malls, leisure parks, and retail, amongst others.The growing middle class is creating a demand for better roads and more airports for easy and quick transportation, more power grids to light even the most remote rural regions, and modern office buildings and infrastructure to support the continued growth of the global economy created by the rise of online and e-commerce trade. Add to this the rapid advancements in software, solutions, and technology;a civil engineering sector is poised for a vibrant future ahead. Grand View Research(GVR), Inc’s latest report says that the global civil engineering market size, by 2025, is expected to be valued at a whopping 12.08 trillion US dollars. GVR also discovered that the growing residential sector in upcoming economies of Asia Pacific, specifically by India and China’s boom in the real estate sectors, is going to drive the market. Plus, the report also states that in 2019 the global civil engineering market size was estimated at 8.73 trillion US dollars and is projected to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.4% from 2020 to 2027. According to the latest report by Million Insights, the market size of Europe civil engineering is expected to be 2,412.9 billion US dollars by 2025.Civil Engineering Software is becoming an essential part of every project work. As infrastructure development is playing a very important role in the growth of any country, the amount of software serving Civil Engineering and design needs is increasing tremendously. Civil Softwares has the major function to reduce man work, increase speed and reduce human error with authentic information on board. There is various software for civil engineering developed for different work. Today’s software can store data, analyze data and guide engineers for future project work.High-rise buildings with no height limits are constructed with the use of civil engineering software. Take the example of the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa having 828 m in height and 160 stories. With the help of software, we can create 2D and 3D models of buildings before construction and analysis their strength, behavior, and safety.

Some of the civil engineering softwares are: AutoCAD,SAP,StaadPro,ETABS,Primavera,Revit,ARCGIS for Surveying.3D Max modeling,MX Road-Road design and analysis,Sketch up,Storm CAD,Water CAD, Microsoft Project,Easy Pro builders estimator,STACK Takeoff and Estimating software.
