Is there a Civil/Structural Engineering Dictionary out there that you guys recommend?

Thanks

This website has some good links.

Individual organizations such as ASCE or AISC usually have lists of members.

Here's a general engineering dictionary I've referred to and found helpful:

Here's an architectural dictionary, although not very comprehensive:

And on the lighter side:

Seems like I remember a number of 750,000 or so engineers in the USA. I'm not sure if this is Civil's or all engineers. This would make for quite a long list.

That sounds like all engineers that are registered. I just got my WV # and it is in the 17000. If that is the average, that puts the US count at 850,000. I think Ohio is in the 70000's now. I realize there are some of those numbers are of folks that have passed on, but I also think 17000 is a little low as an average.

There has to be millions of engineers - most of which as unlicensed. I am sure NSPE keeps tabs on the numbers.
