Description

For newly hired young engineers assigned to their first real 'project', there has been little to offer in the way of advice on 'where to begin', 'what to look out for and avoid', and 'how to get the job done right'. This book gives this advice from an author with long experience as senior engineer in government and industry (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Exxon- Mobil).Beginning with guidance on understanding the typical organizational structure of any type of technical firm or company, author Plummer incorporates numerous hands-on examples and provides help on getting started with a project team, understanding key roles, and avoiding common pitfalls. In addition, he offers unique help on first-time experiences of working in other countries with engineering cultures that can be considerably different from the US.Reviews essentials of management for any new engineer suddenly thrust into responsibilityEmphasizes skills that can get you promoted―and pitfalls that can get you firedExpanded case study to show typical evolution of a new engineer handed responsibility for a major design project Read more

    • Excelent reference
This book was a life saver. It is easy to read and understand, well laid out, and on the mark. The examples are clear and easy to understand, managing to provide real world scenarios while avoiding the complexity. While I am no longer a young engineer, this book is an excellent reference for some of the newer technologies and methods out there. ... show more

    • great book
If you need a refresher course or a self guided lesson, this book is for you. I read it as a prep for a job interview as a project engineer and everything they asked me about was covered in the book.

    • Great book for those starting an engineering career especially civil engineers.
Great book for project engineers just starting. It would have been better if it also related what it preaches to career paths for project engineers. It is overall a good read!

    • A Very Informative Book with a Concise Style
Having read through this book, I couldn't agree with the author more. If I had read this book before, I could have done a much better job in my work. Just as the title of this book, it IS the ESSENTIAL toolbox for young engineers.
