Abstract
This article looks at the impacts that personal computers and other modern advances are having on the civil engineering work environment. These impacts include who is driving the look and accuracy of engineering deliverables (drawings and specifications), liability, work distribution, and the public’s perception of what engineers do. The article is intended to be thought provoking, and show the interrelation of these issues with each other so that the profession can work at addressing the challenges of change.
