Focusing on the essential training of civil engineers, this guide provides strategies for effective mentoring in a rapidly evolving industry. It emphasizes the importance of equipping engineers with the skills, abilities, and commitment needed to thrive in their careers. The book serves as a practical resource for planning and implementing successful mentoring programs tailored to the unique challenges of the profession.
This work aims to deepen our understanding of the role played by technical guidelines and tools for the design, construction and operation of healthcare facilities, ultimately establishing the impact of the physical environment on staff and patient outcomes. Using case studies largely drawn from the UK, Europe, China and Australasia, design approaches such as sustainability (e.g. targets for energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, reduction of waste), evidence-based design (EBD), and Post-Project Evaluation (PPE) are examined in order to identify policies, mechanisms and strategies that can promote an integrated learning environment that in turn supports innovation in healthcare.
