Professional Practices was not what I was looking for, but still it looks like it will be a good book. Good book has the information I need, came on time, and I will use as a source of reference in the future. One person found this helpful. An interesting summary of recommended practices for the civil engineer profession. Glad to have Karen as my Professor. It was convenient having her teach from her book as she knew exactly what pages things were on usually.

I am a practicing civil engineer worked in both private and government practice and Hansen and Zenobia's book is indeed a good reference for things practicing engineers typically learn after about 5 years on the job. Many engineering students can tend to focus on the technical aspect of engineering - absolutely necessary. But, something that is generally not taught well in school, or for which there are select references, are described well in this book.

Hansen and Zenobia have done the research work for you - instead of learning the hard way on the job only, why not take the first step to learning things now? You would definitely be a step ahead of other entry level candidates. A must have in this difficult economy. I am a practicing engineer for 13 years now, and such things as Ethics chapter 3 , Deliverables chapter 6 , Permitting Chapter 8 , legal Chapter 11 and Communicating Chapter 13 are apropos for today's multi-faceted and multi-tasking practicing engineers. No one tells you in school what a deliverable is, and that just because you can technically do something, doesn't mean you can legally.

And communication - if you can't write or speak your ideas clearly - well, then learn. Those have been by far the most valuable skills I learned early some in school, some just learned socially , and that have gotten me places in my career. May other things I learned via the "school of hard knocks" which can be career forming in a bad way , and if you can avoid such knocks by having some understanding of engineering practice, you'd be better off for it.

This book was written by engineers for engineers - institutional knowledge on paper! As a civil engineer working in consulting for more than 30 years, I think a text like this is long overdue.

Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional Practice.

There are a number of excellent technical handbooks for the practicing engineer, but I am not aware of another book that brings together the "soft" issues so important to success in any engineering endeavor. As most practicing civil engineers understand, project management, staff development, marketing, permitting, and collaboration with colleagues and clients make up a huge part of the job, and it is a shame that these issues are given so little attention in the typical civil engineering education. This book provides an excellent introduction to these vital skills, and would be a very useful reference for any young civil engineering professional.

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 landmark publication, Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century BOK2.
