About this title

Synopsis

Initial Professional Development for Civil Engineers provides a core foundation of information on skills, knowledge and understanding, on which the development of every professional civil engineer, and their preparation for professional reviews, is based. The chapters provide guidance for any candidate and their mentors to make sense of the IPD process, providing a valuable insight into how to review their experience and the learning that they must take from it.

This second edition has been fully updated to reflect changes that have come into effect since the first edition, both in the ICE's procedures as well as in the profession generally, and

• offers a core understanding of what it means to become a professional engineer
• defines the breadth of knowledge and understanding required
• focuses on the difficult transition from an academic education to the more complex learning-through-experience of the workplace
• offers invaluable guidance and advice on further individual research for the reader's own professional development
• advises on key topics for the mentor, as well as the candidate

This book will be invaluable reading for graduates starting out on their initial professional development, and continuing towards the professional reviews. The book also provides essential reference to the mentors charged with assisting and encouraging graduates to become qualified professional engineers.
