This single-source guide is the first to take the practical skills defined by the ASCE BOK2 and provide illuminating techniques, quotes, case examples, problems, and information to assist the reader in addressing the many challenges facing civil engineers in the real world. Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional Practice:

- Addresses contemporary issues such as permitting, globalization, sustainability, and emerging technologies - Offers proven methods for balancing speed, quality, and price with contracting and legal issues in a client-oriented profession - Includes guidance on juggling career goals, life outside work, compensation, and growth
- From the challenge of sustainability to the rigors of problem recognition and solving, this book is an essential tool for those practicing civil engineering.
