Lack Of Management Skills

Abstract- : Little literature is available on the management engineering. This research proposal point to the deficiency in engineering professionals caused by lack of management skills and attributes. The research proposal illustrates effects of missing management skills and knowledge in engineers. It proposes that current graduate engineers do not understand the role and importance of management skills in their profession. It also proposes that the skills requirement graduate engineers have change of time and new approach that incorporates management principles needs to be adopted. In particular, the research proposes to investigate the lack of management skills amongst current engineers. It proposes strategic adoption of management

The arts and skills of management is a core requirement for the field of engineering. Previously management was not a major consideration in engineering profession. However, recent development in the industry and profession have management skills a necessity. Management skills are shaking the feature of new graduate engineers. Many experts and the academic researchers have pointed out the need for graduate engineers to have adequate management skills. Many engineering courses are nowadays include management skills. In addition, some graduate engineers have also registered for management courses to back their professional skills and proficiency. Some take management courses as MBA or other special

To determine hoe lack of engineering management skills has affected the companies performance, effectiveness, and profitability.

3. To assess the shift in the required set of skills and attributes for modern engineers.

4. To determine whether current graduate engineers understand the role of management skills in their professional responsibilities.

Research hypothesis:

The following are two major hypotheses of this research proposal. H1: Current graduate engineers do not understand the role and importance of management skills in their profession. H2: The required attributes and skills of engineers have changed and shifted towards management. Literature Review: Several visions of empirical evidences as well as large bodies of scholary literature indicates that management skills are still lacking in engineering courses despite their significant roles in the profession. Other scholars and experts have also identified the significant roles and necessity of including management skills in the engineering teaching syllabus. Most organizations underperform because they hire graduate engineers who do not have adequate management skills. Lack of management skills is not only effecting the engineers' professional development but also lead to poor performance of the organization. In addition, it reduces the organizations efficiency as well as profitability
