    Bill McAnally and I, with input from this community, updated the guide. The latest version is available here. You can also find it in the Library.  A special shout-out to David Ponte for his thoughtful and detailed comments. 

    Educators: you might want to look at this guide for inclusion in your classroom/ syllabus.

    Senior staff: you might want to look at this guide for sharing with your recent University hires.

    ASCE staff: You should think about where links to this guide can be added.

    The guide meanwhile remains a work in progress, and further comments and feedback are welcome.

    I took a quick read through the draft guide, and liked it. If I find time later, I'll read in more detail to see if I have any suggestions. One typo for you: on page 19, Table 3, in the  "funding" row, under "Management", it should be "they", not "thee".

    The guide has been viewed 191 times and downloaded 4 times. If you viewed or downloaded it, what feedback do you have? Do you think this should be published as an official ASCE document?
