Hi! Once I searched some books to read related to civil engineering, I have found this book "Introduction to Civil Engineering A Student's guide to Academic and Professional Success" By S.T. MAU & SAMI MAALOUF. In my opinion, first year university students and applicants who want to study in civil engineering will be better to read this book if they want to know 1:WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING?, 2: HOW TO SUCCEED, 3: THE CIVIL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM, 4: CO-CURRICULAR LEARNING, 5: LEGENDS, MILESTONES AND LANDMARKS, 6: ENGINEERING ETHICS, 7: LIFE BEYOND THE BSCE DEGREE. You will be aware about all of these having read this book.
