Full Description
This comprehensive new textbook bridges the gap between academic knowledge and professional practice in civil engineering, connecting traditionally separate course units into a cohesive whole that teaches readers to "think like a civil engineer".
The book traces civil engineering's evolution through influential historical figures while exploring how technology transforms the field. Across ten chapters, it covers engineering fundamentals, ethics, material science, biomimicry applications, mathematical modelling, design tools, and professional development. Readers gain practical understanding of everything from equation formulation and force analysis to software applications and construction management, with special emphasis on the iterative nature of design and the transition from theoretical knowledge to real-world application.
Written primarily for civil engineering students transitioning to industry and early-career professionals seeking to master the profession, this guide also serves as a valuable resource for educators teaching civil engineering courses and experienced professionals requiring a refresher on fundamental principles that unite the various branches of this constantly evolving field.
