Project Engineering: The Essential Toolbox for Young Engineers

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 is intended to give just that sort of help 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, and then going on to providing help on getting started with a project team, understanding key roles, and avoiding common pitfalls of new engineers, the author provides numerous hands-on examples of typical projects from representative industries and organizations of all kinds. In addition, the book will offer unique help on first-time experience working in other countries with engineering cultures that can be considerably different from that found in the U.S.

描述

對於新入職的年輕工程師來說，他們第一個真正的項目中很少有關於如何開始、要注意什麼以及如何正確完成工作的建議。本書旨在提供這種幫助，作者擁有作為政府和工業（美國陸軍工程兵團和埃克森美孚）高級工程師的長期經驗。從指導理解任何技術公司的典型組織結構開始，然後提供有關如何與項目團隊合作、理解關鍵角色以及避免新工程師常見陷阱的幫助，作者提供了來自各種行業和組織的典型項目的許多實際例子。此外，本書還將提供在與工程文化與美國截然不同的其他國家首次工作的經驗方面的獨特幫助。
