Sommario/riassunto

Civil engineering is a rewarding field. Engineers design sustainable structures like houses, roads and bridges. We use our skills for robust solutions and go beyond mere technicality. The book explores civil engineers' broader environment and their profession from many angles. 'Building bridges starts in the mind' involves seeking



connections to a holistic view of engineering. Being an engineer means more than just applying technology if you bridge effectively to the engineer’s environment. The author: Dipl.-Ing. Moritz Menge, born in Bonn in 1975, studied civil engineering at RWTH Aachen University and has since worked as a structural engineer, project manager and team leader in structural engineering for bridges, tunnels and buildings. He regularly publishes articles from these projects in the relevant specialist journals. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
