    Hi,

    One of the major differences between Construction and Civil Engineering is that the latter is more involved in the planning, designing and implementing projects while Construction Engineering focuses more on the methods, procedures and aspects of construction. Moreover, Construction Engineering is offered as a specialisation in Civil Engineering courses. Let's explore the key differences:
