When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

2.9 There is always some context to provide, such as information about the type of customer (an oil company? a plumber? a dentist? ), the type of document you are translating, the subject, etc.

Como verá por las otras respuestas, no es tan sencillo: Ingeniero civil/ingeniero de Obras Públicas/Ingeniero de Caminos, Canales y Puertos. En un contexto muy concreto: MIT, finales del siglo XIX. With all due respect, I know there are bilingual dictionaries.
broca (asker) May 10, 2020:
Pues el término que necesito es "civil engineer", como he puesto claramente. Thanks.
broca (asker) May 10, 2020:
Taña: si lee al final de la página 317, después de BOLSTER, Roy Hale, pone "studied electrical and civil engineering". De acuerdo, no es "civil engineer", es "civil engineering".

Gracias Toni. Sí, y por desgracia cada vez más... la pura tautología. Saludos

Ingeniero civil

Soy ingeniero civil, puedo comentarte que las áreas de aplicación de mi segunda carrera son:
1. Construcción
2. Estructuras
3. Hidráulica
4. Vías de comunicación.
En mi país, Argentina, se utiliza el término 'Ingeniero Civil' sin aclarar la especialización, pero sé que en otros países el término IC no se utiliza, sino que existen, por ejemplo, 'Ingeniero en construcciones', 'Ingeniero hidráulico', etc. Considero que depende del target audience: si es de un público como el argentino, con decir Ingeniero civil será suficiente. En primera instancia, luego de leer el texto que adjuntas, veo que no se hace necesaria la aclaración de la especialización, por lo que considero que con decir el título IC será suficiente.
