Author Description

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 job site. 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 courses such as Construction Project Engineering, Introduction to Construction and the Construction Industry, Introduction to Construction Project Management, and Construction Administration during Construction Engineering, Construction Engineering Technology, Civil and Architectural Engineering, and Construction Management degree programs.
