I was attracted to Civil Engineering because I loved drafting and math in High School. Heavy equipment always fascinated me and I wanted to be involved in construction. Therefore, Civil Engineering was a natural choice for me. Today, I enjoy designing a project and actually getting to see the plans being constructed in the field.
