Publication: Issues in Engineering: Journal of Professional Activities
Volume 106, Issue 2
Abstract
The writers emphasize that civil engineers are engineering managers as well as technicians. Civil engineering departments must begin providing the undergraduate with engineering management education for the following reasons: (1)Civil engineers need basic management tools early in their careers; and (2)very high percentage of civil engineers eventually spend more than 50% of their time in management of supervising activities and eventually almost all civil engineers become involved in management in someway. A suggested approach is to structure civil engineering undergraduate courses around a systematic approach to the management of constructed facilities.
