Students of this text will fully appreciate the practical aspects of being a construction engineer and manager, and the dual nature—both technical and managerial—of the responsibilities.  The text helps build skills through a cohesive view of construction technology; it’s safe use to maximize productivity and how the principles of science are being applied; linking the material in this course to previous courses (such as statics or geotechnical engineering); and utilizing a pedagogy designed to promote knowledge, and skill acquisition, such as case studies and open-ended problems. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStudents will be engaged by relevant subject matter, informed by the author’s hands-on research in advanced technologies, mechatronics, robotics, ergonomics and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe wide variety of pedagogical tools in the text will appeal to many different learning styles, and provide teachers with more opportunities and resources to get
