Civil Engineering for the Community

"Civil Engineering for the Community" is intended as a source for the novice and more experienced civil engineer. This book provides a sense of the way an engineer can provide service to the public, while recognizing that conflict can often occur when working for a local government organization. For this reason, non-technical aspects of engineering, such as communication skills, the management of people and machines, and the need to change are stressed. By presenting a variety of ideas with examples to illustrate them, this book provides the civil engineer with ways to better serve the public. Therefore, this book can be used as a career guide for engineers at the local government level.
