Building Bridges Starts in the Mind

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.

The book encourages reflection on the everyday aspects of civil engineering activities The content of the book can be easily applied to most engineering activities There is hardly any comparable literature with this industry reference
