The era of globalization and rapid technological development has changed people’s lives dramatically. Science and technology play an extremely important role in the contemporary society. Government in developed and developing countries recognize the importance of the development of S&T sphere. The roles of men and women have changed dramatically in the contemporary society. Science and technology are decisively important tools that can be used for the advancement of women in most. Women’s involvement in the application of science and technology will lead to beneficial and productive uses. The science and technology in the four critical areas will affect all of the critical areas: education and training; economy (and economy linked with poverty); health; and communications/media. The four critical areas noted above and believe that science and technology in these areas will affect all the critical areas. For example, improved education and training in science and technology fields and applications will pave the way for women’s involvement in leadership positions, which, in turn, would increase women’s incomes and empower women in their communities. Access to improved communications would affect women’s access to each other and promote their ability to organize politically There has been considerable effort in the last decade to increase the participation of women in engineering through various policies. India has achieved higher technological advancement during last decade of civil engineering, which is equally enthralling, encouraging, as well as, demanding for women in the field. Women account for nearly 51% of the construction labour force. Even though, the percentage of unskilled women is high in construction site, the female-to-male ratio in a class of civil engineering is hardly one-fourth. Nearly 20% of women continue to work in the field of civil engineering, while others move on to pursue different fields. This paper looks into different aspects of civil engineering, which is equally enthralling, encouraging, as well as, demanding for women in the field.
