A highway engineer specializes in designing and maintaining roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and efficient transportation in a region. As a highway engineer, you must understand how traffic moves through a location for vehicles and pedestrians to determine the best flow of traffic. You must also know what kind of road surface would work best for each project. Highway engineers may work on a project from the design phase all the way through construction, and often are called back to maintain the structures to make sure they are still fully functional.
| Aspect | Highway Engineer | Civil Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Civil Engineering, PE license often preferred | Bachelor's in Civil Engineering, PE license often required |
| Work Environment | Construction sites, transportation departments, engineering firms | Construction sites, infrastructure projects, consulting firms |
| Industry Usage | Specializes in highway and road projects | Broader scope including bridges, buildings, and infrastructure |
| Common Search/Comparison | Highway Engineer vs Civil Engineer |
Highway Engineers focus specifically on designing, constructing, and maintaining roads and highways, often working within transportation departments or specialized firms. Civil Engineers have a broader role, working on various infrastructure projects including buildings, bridges, and water systems. Both roles require similar credentials and often overlap in work environments, but Highway Engineers specialize in transportation infrastructure.
