Civil Engineer’s Handbook of Professional Practice

Karen Lee Hansen, Kent E. Zenobia

Civil Engineer’s Handbook of Professional Practice is the first single-source guide to take the practical skills defined by the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK) and provide illuminating techniques, quotes, example problems, case studies, and valuable information to assist students and early-career engineers in addressing the many challenges facing civil engineers in the real world.

This Second Edition has been updated to include the concepts in ASCE’s latest CEBOK3 and has four all-new chapters: Design Thinking; Affirmative Action; Equal Opportunity and Diversity; Negotiation; and Construction Management and Scheduling. This book is not only a valuable reference for early-career civil engineers, it is also appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in Professional Practice and Engineering Project Management. Comprehensive pedagogical elements are included throughout, and instructors have access to an instructor’s manual via the book’s companion website.
