This new textbook fills an important gap in the existing literature, in
that it prepares construction engineering and built environment students
for their first experience of the jobsite. This innovative book
integrates conceptual and hands-on knowledge of project engineering to
introduce students to the construction process and familiarize them with
the procedures and activities they need to operate as project engineers
during their summer internships and immediately after graduation.
The textbook is structured into four sections:
- Section A: Introductory Concepts
- Section B: Field Engineering
- Section C: Office Engineering
- Section D: Advanced Project Engineering
The emphasis on field tasks and case studies, questions, and exercises
taken from across civil works and commercial building sectors makes this
the ideal textbook for introductory to intermediate courses in
Construction Engineering, Construction Engineering Technology, Civil and
Architectural Engineering, and Construction Management degree programs.
