The last time management course

Article Abstract:

The significance of time management in the engineering field is confirmed by the fact that several large firms engage in time management training for their employees. It was discovered that the success of an effective time management program involves knowing how time is spent, eliminating time wasters, prioritizing essential tasks and identifying productive individuals in the company and familiarizing with the techniques they use. Since time is considered a valuable resource, individuals must learn to control it to achieve its maximum benefits.

Professional Practice Survey results

Article Abstract:

A survey conducted on the top 500 civil engineering firms reflected the changing profile of the profession. According to the results, the firms' client base is composed mainly of various governmental and private industrial sectors. These respondents conduct their business in a corporate form and perform services on a fixed-price basis. However, they expect the practice of bidding to increase. These imply that the profession is growing and is gaining greater multidisciplinary capability.

Dealing with professional burnout

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of professionals including engineers are experiencing burnout as they cram more and more activities into their already overloaded schedules. Stress can lead to burnout but the two conditions should not be confused as not all people who experience stress develop burnout. Stressed people are often tired but burned-out people experience chronic fatigue and feelings of helplessness which can result in a range of physical or emotional problems.
