History of Civil Engineering : • Engineering has been an aspect of life since the beginnings of human existence. The earliest practice of civil engineering have commenced between 4000 and 2000 BC in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (Ancient Iraq) when humans started construction of shelter. During this time, transportation important leading to the development of the wheel and sailing. • Until modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and architecture.
