Civil Engineering is a vague field that has many discipline. Civil engineering is a tough subject even for study during its four year in bachelor program. There are several universities for civil engineering study, quality of any university or collage are depends on their input on students and also the capacity of student. Even you are student with high level of intelligence though your university is not going to support you with sufficient materials then
how can you become a good engineer?
No worry, now a days some universities with high reputation are sharing their lecture notes with all students. Here we are sharing some lecture notes from MIT a renowned University in USA.
