Foreword to the Ingenieurbau-Preis 2010
Josef Seiler
INGENIEUR BAUKUNST eV Berlin
"Competitions are figureheads for creatively active and freelance architects and engineers. [...]
As member of the jury which I had the honor of presiding over I was able to experience how difficult it is on one hand to have to make a decision; on the other hand the high level of discussion during the evaluation of the evaluation of each project regardles of the size of the object was an experience in and of itself. I would like to thank all members of the jury wholeheartedly for their efforts. [...]
My congratulations go to the design teams of those five structures that were awarded the Ingenieurbau-Preis 2010. [...]"

Reinhard Kulick
Business-cards from business partners often contain a number of abbreviations following the name - especially if the person comes from a country which is either British or characterized as British. This article describes the meaning behind of “Robert Smith BEng(Hons) PhD CEng MICE MIStructE”.
Firstly it is pointed out that academic professions in the construction industry are not directly comparable between Germany and Anglo-Saxon countries, secondly the education and professional development are influenced significantly by professional institutions and, thirdly the abbreviations are either academic degrees or grades of memberships in professional institutions. As an example the education and professional development of a civil engineer and the resulting business-card are described.
Attached are empirical formulas which will enable the far reaching decoding of business-cards from business partners from or related to the construction industry.
