The Role of Todays Civil and Environmental Engineer more integrators and managers of technological systems than designers and analysts of their component parts increasingly find their work as part of team efforts effective communication of high-level ideas as important as the soundness of engineering design deal with a built environment that increasingly functions more as an actor in the operation of a complex dynamic system than as an inanimate stage prop in its support work across many disciplines and fields, using a systems approach to position their work within the context of ethical, political, environmental and economic consideration
