Project Management – The key to turn Engineer in to Project Leader: Review

Abstract

This paper includes the co-relation between management skill and engineering skills along with the management aspects for the
engineering disciplines discussed in various research papers. It also includes important non-engineering skills that could be
expected of engineers within the first five years of commencement of their careers. As management education has often been
viewed as secondary to technical skills and hence does not comprehend the integrated range of skills needed, this paper illustrates
basic management principles to be included in the modern literature on teaching management to engineers. Some ideas are
discussed outlining possible research which will be carried out and reported by the authors, aimed at documenting current
deficiencies with a view of developing a more effective future strategy for engineering management education.
