This guide expands on the practical skills defined by the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE's) Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK) and provides illuminating techniques, quotes, example problems/solutions, case studies, and valuable information that engineers encounter in the real world. Including critical information on project management, leadership, and communication, this powerful resource distills the Accreditation Board for Science and Technology's (ABET's) requirements for a successful career and licensure. Due to the large amount of information that is presented in an easy-to-digest way, this handbook enables civil engineers to be competitive at an international level, building on their traditional strengths in technology and science while also providing the ability to master the business of civil engineering. In this second edition, readers will find: Modern business topics such as design thinking, affirmative action, equal opportunity and diversity, negotiation, health and safety requirements, construction management, body language interpretation skills, project management, and scheduling Key discussions of executing a professional commission, the engineer's role in project development, professional engagement, and ethics Updated examples of everyday challenges for civil engineers, including defining the project, establishing objectives and innovative approaches, identifying resources and constraints, preparing a critical path schedule, quality control, and orchestrating project delivery The latest applications of emerging technologies, globalization impacts, and new sustainability applications for civil engineers Examples of a civil engineering request for proposal and corresponding workplan and feasibility study, technical report, specification, contracts, and scheduling and cost control tools Providing comprehensive coverage and in-depth guidance from leading industry and academic professionals, Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional Practice, 2nd edition, is a valuable reference for early-career and experienced civil engineers alike. It is also highly appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in Professional Practice and Engineering Project Management.
