Introduction to Construction Project Engineering

This textbook fills an important gap in the literature and prepares construction engineering and built environment students for their first experience of the job site. It integrates conceptual and hands-on knowledge 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. It emphasises field tasks, case studies, questions and exercises from civil works and commercial building sectors. An ideal textbook for courses on Construction Engineering, Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management degree programs.

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 jobsite. This innovative book integrates conceptual and hands-on knowledge of project engineering to introduce students to the construction process and familiarize them with the procedures and activities they need to operate as project engineers during their summer internships and immediately after graduation.

The textbook is structured into four sections:

1. Section A: Introductory Concepts
2. Section B: Field Engineering
3. Section C: Office Engineering
4. Section D: Advanced Project Engineering

The emphasis on field tasks and case studies, questions, and exercises taken from across civil works and commercial building sectors makes this the ideal textbook for introductory to intermediate courses in Construction Engineering, Construction Engineering Technology, Civil and Architectural Engineering, and Construction Management degree programs.
