A well-written, hands-on, single-source guide to the
professional practice of civil engineering
professional practice of civil engineering
There is a growing understanding that to be competitive at an
international level, civil engineers not only must build on their
traditional strengths in technology and science but also must
acquire greater mastery of the business of civil engineering.
Project management, teamwork, ethics, leadership, and communication
have been defined as essential to the successful practice of civil
engineering by the ASCE in the 2008 landmark publication, Civil
Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century (BOK2). This
single-source guide is the first to take the practical skills
defined by the ASCE BOK2 and provide illuminating techniques,
quotes, case examples, problems, and information to assist the
reader in addressing the many challenges facing civil engineers in
the real world. Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional
Practice:
- Focuses on the business and management aspects of a civil
engineer's job, providing students and practitioners with sound
business management principles - Addresses contemporary issues such as permitting,
globalization, sustainability, and emerging technologies - Offers proven methods for balancing speed, quality, and price
with contracting and legal issues in a client-oriented
profession - Includes guidance on juggling career goals, life outside work,
compensation, and growth
From the challenge of sustainability to the rigors of problem
recognition and solving, this book is an essential tool for those
practicing civil engineering.
