While the ASCE Body of Knowledge (BOK2) is the codified source for
all technical and non-technical information necessary for those
seeking to attain licensure in civil engineering, recent graduates
have notoriously been lacking in the non-technical aspects even as
they excel in the technical. Fundamentals of Civil Engineering: An
Introduction to the ASCE Body of Knowledge addresses this shortfall
and helps budding engineers develop the knowledge, skills, and
attitudes suggested and implied by the BOK2. Written as a resource
for all of the non-technical outcomes not specifically covered in
the BOK2, it details fundamental aspects of fourteen outcomes
addressed in the second edition of the ASCE Body of Knowledge and
encourages a broader perspective and understanding of the role of
civil engineers in society as well as the reciprocal influence
between civil engineering and social evolution. With discussion
questions and group activities at the end of each chapter, topics
covered include humanities and social sciences, experimentation,
sustainability, contemporary issues and historical perspectives,
risk and uncertainty, communication, public policy, globalization,
leadership and teamwork, and professional and ethical
responsibilities. Suitable for both current and former students in
pursuit of further breadth and depth of knowledge and professional
maturity, this primer promotes introspection, self-evaluation, and
self-learning. It details those attitudes that are essential to the
achievement of personal and professional success and advancement to
positions of leadership, and encourages an appreciation of the
human values that are fundamental to professional practice.
