Answer 1

If you have to move earth and build/design buildings/machineray for farmers or the agricultural industry, then it's most probably agricultural engineering
If you have to move earth and build/repair something for everybody else, it's civil.
Civil engineers build roads, bridges, canals, dams, buildings and many other structures.
The first ever engineering discipline was military engineering, then came civil engineering who build everything for civilians (as opposed to military).
