Is it right that civil engineering does not develop as fast as other fields of study?

I wouldn't say that Civil Engineering is developing very slow but the main reason why we are not progressing as fast as other Engineering professions is that our work are directly responsible for the safety of the users.
For a country to accept a new concept of design or a new material for construction they want to have severe testing to be carried out to be sure that the new design method won't fail and or the new material behaves as said and that the standard deviation of the material is small enough, these testings take a very long time I know of a Professor doing tests on concrete behavior for the last 5 years and the tests are still going on.
So if a new material is developed testing on that material may take years to complete so we are a several years behind but that is because of high safety standards.
*Hope this is said correct sorry for the poor grammar its not my strong point :)
-Just as an example in South Africa we have a high quality steel and for more economical construction they wanted to import steel from China but when the steel arrived the properties of the steel was so much weaker than the current steel in SA and there standard deviation was so high that they have sent back the steel to China

Which field of engineering overlaps almost other fields of engineering?
design engineering
What are the top 5 branches in engineering?
There are four branches of mechanical engineering. They are manufacturing, acoustical, vehicle, and thermal engineering. Vehicle engineering is further broken down into aerospace and automotive engineering.
I am Civil engineer i want to become Reservoir engineer in Oil fields through some training courses will you help me and give me an idea about that?
Your best bet is to get a master's degree in petroleum engineering. Other than that, the only way you'll get a reservoir engineering job is through making connections in the industry.
Names of civil engineering association in India?
The Indian Institution of Engineers is a civil engineering association in India. Names of other associations would include Institution of Civil Engineers (India) and Institution of Engineers (India).
Is civil engineering hard or easy?
Yes. Any of the engineering majors are challenging as they require extensive math, physics, and other science related classes. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work to become an engineer. That is why they are paid better than other 4 year degrees. It also depends on your hardwork, motivation and interest.
What is better automobile engineering or civil engineering?
I will suggest you to choose oil and gas field which has good market in upcoming years compare to other fields u can do mechanical or civil engineering both or an evergreen field. After your engineering get specialized in Piping Engineering or Process Plant civil Engineering . To have more confident in Piping or process plant Civil engineering field you can choose Seabird engineering institute
What is the best engineering degree to have?
This question is obviously a matter of opinion. Electrical Engineering is tops in my opinion, though, but it is also the most difficult degree to obtain. I say it's the best because you can go into ANY of the other engineering discipline fields after you finish your BS. For example, as an EE, I've worked in the biomedical engineering and now civil engineering fields. With a biomedical or civil degree, you can't work in EE fields, though. Mechanical engineering I would give a close second, because it is also a very broad field.
Relation between civil engineering and other engineering?
Civil engineering deals with civil construction, structural design, buildings, roads, bridges etc
Which field of engineering overlaps almost other fields of engineering?
design engineering
Identify some design patterns in fields other than architecture and software engineering?
Design PatternsDescribe some design patterns in fields other than architecture and software engineering.

What is an example of how prosthetics engineering differs from most other engineering fields?
designing a device that is biologically compatible
Is engineering a profession?
Engineering covers a broad spectrum of many, many different disciplines. To name only a few fields, engineering can range from chemical, biomedical, electrical, environmental, civil, mechanical, aeronautical, computer, systems, etc... Generally, engineering degrees incorporate theory and applications of the discipline. For example, I am studying electrical engineering. Many of my courses are devoted to electromagnetic phenomena and the mathematical equations that govern it. But then there are design and laboratory courses where you are working hands-on and seeing real world applications of the theories learned in other courses. Engineering then becomes not only a profession, but a way of life, as you begin to develop different perspectives of looking at and solving problems.
What kind of fields are there in engineering?
Civil Engineering, Maine Engineers, Areospace Engineers, Biomedical Engineers, Computer Hardware engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Material Engineers, Elecrical Engineers EXEPT Computer......ect.......Engineering courses are offered in different fields like:1) Civil2) Mechanical3) Industrial Production4) Computer Science5) Information Technology6) Electronics and Communications7) Electrical and Electronics8) AeronauticsMany more.. I request other to add if they know any.
How was greco-roman civilization formed?
They made avances in medicine, math ,engineering and other fields.
Is Nanotechnology comes under mechanical engineering?
yes nanotechnology does come under the mechanical engineering field but it also has other fields as the eligibility criteria.
