Contains seven peer-reviewed papers on engineering design for precipitation extremes. Topics include engineering methods for designing for and managing precipitation extremes and floods, approaches to uncertainty and acceptable risk, and interactions with climate scientists on engineering needs for climate information and projections.

Presents the challenges of cold regions engineering in a changing climate, as well as the current practices and state-of-the-art tools for addressing them. The book is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and government agencies involved in cold regions engineering and the mitigation of frost action.

Organized around the theme ""Networking in Engineering Colleges"", the conference deals with the trends in computer-aided engineering applications of computer-aided design, manufacturing automation, and networking. It provides a forum for leaders from education and government to focus on issues related to the automation of engineering practice.

An engineer's personal take on what it's like to be a civil engineer in the 21st century - the life, the practice, the profession. This work covers aspects ranging from discussions of suburban sprawl, bridge aesthetics, and the engineering body of knowledge to comical accounts of packrat habits, quacking moments, and engineering fashion.
