<p>I just graduated in May with a B.S. Math and Physics Minor. Are there any civil engineering jobs available to me that don't require any kind of licensing? I know this is an odd question, but I'm just curious.</p>
<p>Anything? I don’t recall if I’ve asked this before on here.</p>
<p>I can’t think of any companies that would hire a math major to work as a civil engineer. There are plenty of qualified CE majors available to hire! What kind of CE work were you thinking of specifically?</p>
<p>Oh, I don’t know. I was just wondering. I’ve always been fascinated by structures (skyscrapers, bridges, etc.)</p>
<p>I suppose there aren’t any CE-related support roles available to me either.</p>
<p>To be a structural engineer, you’d need at least a BS in civil engineering, preferably with a concentration in structures. You would need to take structural analysis classes and design classes in concrete and steel as a minimum. There is a LOT to it. I think an MS in structures is a good idea, also.</p>
<p>Any kind of graduate civil engineering degree would require a prohibitive number of leveling courses. In fact, my Alma mater isn’t accepting non-engineering degrees into their civil graduate program.</p>
<p>This is probably a stupid question, but are there any ancillary technical positions in civil engineering firms?</p>
<p>I’m not sure there will be much a market in any civil-related positons for non-civil backgrounds, but if you are interested in engineering positions in general, manufacturing engineering or production engineering is a good fit for any technical background.</p>
<p>AutoCAD operators come to mind, but I don’t know how much demand there is for them right now. It takes awhile to get enough experience with AutoCAD, Revit, etc. to be useful to a company, too.</p>
