Which of the following is NOT a subfield of civil engineering?

Structural engineering
Network engineering
Water resources engineering
Transportation engineering

The correct answer is: Network engineering

Network engineering is not a subfield of civil engineering. Civil engineering encompasses various specialized areas that focus on different aspects of infrastructure, construction, and environmental projects. Structural engineering, water resources engineering, and transportation engineering are all recognized subfields within civil engineering. Structural engineering deals with the design and analysis of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams to ensure their strength and stability. Water resources engineering focuses on the management and distribution of water resources, including flood control, water supply systems, and wastewater treatment. Transportation engineering involves the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems, including highways, railways, and airports. In contrast, network engineering typically refers to a discipline within computer science and information technology that focuses on the design, implementation, and management of networks, particularly telecommunications and computer networks. This area does not align with the core principles and projects associated with civil engineering.
