The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for an engineer.
All 50 States and the District of Columbia require licensure for engineers who offer their services directly to the public. Engineers who are licensed are called professional engineers (PE). This licensure generally requires a degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program, 4 years of relevant work experience, and successful completion of a State examination. Recent graduates can start the licensing process by taking the examination in two stages. The initial Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination can be taken upon graduation. Engineers who pass this examination commonly are called engineers in training (EIT) or engineer interns (EI). After acquiring suitable work experience, EITs can take the second examination, the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Several States have imposed mandatory continuing education requirements for relicensure. Most States recognize licensure from other States, provided that the manner in which the initial license was obtained meets or exceeds their own licensure requirements. Many civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers are licensed PEs. Independent of licensure, various certification programs are offered by professional organizations to demonstrate competency in specific fields of engineering.

Is there a List of college courses need to be taken to become a civil engineer?
Civil Engineering is a degree course so you would have to go to a university. Hope your mathematics is good.
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.
What job opportunities are there for a person with a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering?
The job opportunities for a civil engineer is very bright. Since only few graduates come out of universities every year having Bachelor's degree in civil engineering the demand for civil engineers are very high, particularly in middle east and Asian countries. A civil engineering graduate can choose a variety of job options like Construction management, Project management, Real estate, Structural engineeiring, Foundation engineering, water resource, environmental engineering,Transportation systems, Geographical information system, even in aircraft engineering. It is upto you to choose a carrier in which part of civil engineering you would like to go and company to join.
What do I have to do to get an accounting certification?
The most common way to obtain an accounting certification is to get a higher learning degree in accounting. A Bachelor's degree would go a long way in helping with certification.
Where can I get a biomedical engineering degree?
My suggestion would be MIT. That is a great school for engineering.
What does it take to get and Engineering degree if you already have a 4 year chemistry degree?
The exact answer depends on the program and the school, but if you already have a BS degree then you usually need to complete those courses in the engineering degree that you don't have from the chemistry degree. Since the degree means you have completed your 'general education' requirements, the classes you would take would be the ones specifically for the engineering degree (i.e. in engineering). The other course work would have already been counted.
What is the best degree for computer science engineering and how long would it take to get that degree?
Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering, and the degree typically takes 4 years of university.
How much time it takes for full time student to take civil engineering bachelor's degree?
Typically for most engineering programs (except architectural engineering), the bachelor's degree would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student depending on the credit load carried per semester, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.
How do I get an audio engineering degree online?

What kind of college major or degree and occupation entails the management and the development of a transportation system and which colleges would best offer this major or degree?
Civil Engineering.. and any ABET accredited school will be just fine.
If you want an associate's degree before tackling your ultimate goal of a civil engineering degree what might be a wise major for the associate's degree?
You would want to check into the civil engineering degree first to see if the associate credits are going to be transferable. That way, when you look at the associates, you will know whether it will end up being more efficient to start at a community college and then transfer than to get an associates. Of course, if there will be some delay, then an associates may be the way to go.
How does one get a job doing bridge construction?
