Being a civil engineer is a fulfilling profession. Civil engineers design sustainable infrastructure. We build houses, roads, bridges, tunnels, cultural centres, towers and much more. We often bring all our engineering skills to bear to achieve solid solutions. And often even more, which lies beyond the technical art of engineering.
The book looks beyond the technical solutions into the wider environment of civil engineers and reflects on their profession and their own attitude from a wide variety of perspectives. "Building bridges begins in the mind" means engaging in the search for connections - to a holistic professional image and to one's position as an engineer.
