Migliaccio / Holm Introduction to Construction Project Engineering

E-Book, Englisch, 314 Seiten

ISBN: 978-1-351-73523-0
Verlag: Taylor & Francis
Format: PDF
Kopierschutz: Adobe DRM (»Systemvoraussetzungen)



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 new book integrates conceptual and hands-on knowledge of project engineering to introduce students to the construction process and familiarise them with the procedures and activities they need to operate as a project engineer during their summer internship and immediately after graduation.

The textbook is structured into five sections:

- Section A: Introductory Concepts

- Section B: Field Engineering Tasks

- Section C: Office Engineering Tasks

- Section D: Technology-Enabled Project Engineering Tasks

- Section E: Advanced Project Engineering Concepts

The emphasis on field tasks and case studies, questions and exercises taken from across civil works and commercial building sectors make this is 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 on Construction Engineering, Construction Engineering Technology, Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management degree programs.
