following this career path, a working relationship with constructionprofessionals is often a daily reality. Likewise, in the state government sector, the proportion ofcivil engineers is dwarfed by an array of non-engineering professions. However, constructionprofessionals again represent a significant proportion of these industry occupations (6.3%).From this data, it can be seen that the civil engineering profession in general is exceedinglydiverse, and as such, these percentages may not necessarily represent the actual day–to-dayinteractions of any given engineer. However, considering these industry trends, some broadconclusions can be drawn regarding the career of a civil engineer and the appropriate level ofDCP participation in a typical

Classes are required, papers are assigned, some comments are voiced; but inso many cases the retention of communication skill is not assured and does not become anintegral part of the engineer's existence.
