Civil engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.
Many civil engineers manage people and projects. A civil engineer may oversee a construction site or be a city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and teaching. There are many specialties within civil engineering, such as structural, construction, environment, and transportation.
Civil engineers usually work in areas that are industry and business centers. Often they work at construction sites. Some times they work in places that are far away from cities. Most engineers work a 40-hour week. Some are required to travel.

Civil engineers design roads, bridges, and other structures. They might even design lakes and water routes. They do a lot more things that involves complex math.

An architect usualy needs a civil engineer to have his creation structurally sound. All concrete and steelstructures you see(ought to) have been designed & calculated by Civil engineers.
Further they know very well how to think in logic steps and so they make time-schedules, plan building sequence a.s.o.
A world without CI is hopeless

they did not design, they build
architect design
engineering began during war. Roman uses engineering to build bridge, road, aqueducts to help them to win a battle. Civil engineering is the opposite to army engineers

Don't forget some of the branches of Civil enginering such as Environmental.

construction a kind is honestly something civil engineers might want to do. besides the undeniable fact that, because civil engineers oftentimes construct higher platforms, it would not be their job to construct the comprehensive scale platforms they have designed.

buildings, bridges, with your vocabulary I doubt you'll make any kind of engineer unless it is for tinker toys, and that might be a stretch.
