The authors use the infrastructure that is all around us to introduce students to civil and environmental engineering, demonstrating how all the parts of civil and environmental engineering are interrelated to help students see the \"big picture\" in the first or second year of the curriculum.  \u003cp\u003eStudents learn not only the \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e of the infrastructure, but also the \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e of the infrastructure. Readers learn the infrastructure is a system of interrelated physical components, and how those components affect, and are affected by, society, politics, economics, and the environment. Studying infrastructure allows educators and students to develop a valuable link between fundamental knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge, so students may translate their knowledge to new contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors' implementation of modern learning pedagogy (learning objectives, concrete examples and cases, and hundreds of photos and illustrations), and chapters
