They analyse the way these structures are likely to behave once they're built, and choose the best materials and construction methods for each design.
    Chances of getting a job as a civil engineer are good due to a shortage of people in the role.

    Continuing my first point-
    The proximity of all eight universities to Newzealand's diverse natural environment offers students the chance to research anything from endangered marine mammals to earthquake engineering.
    Although all the universities offer core degrees in the arts, business and science, each also has its own distinctive profile.
    For example, Auckland and Otago have the country's two medical schools, featuring hospital-based learning, whereas Canterbury and Auckland have an international profile for their engineering courses.
