Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional Practice ReviewI 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. A book worth having on any engineering student / entry level professional's library.
This book was written by engineers for engineers - institutional knowledge on paper!
