Common Threads in Construction Career Life Cycle Management Between Industry and Academia

摘要

Possibly the best book on managing a career in engineering, The Unwritten Laws of Business, was written more than 70 years ago by W.J. King and then revised with additions by J.G. Skakoon in 2001. The latest edition in 2014 is published by Profile Books Ltd., and its copyright is held by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Frankly, I do not believe there is much I can add to that book, but I will offer a few comments on construction career paths based on what I have learned from my own mentors and experience over the last thirty years in our industry. Most of those years are academic experience working with industry, but it has afforded some perspective.
