This report gives the results of a questionnaire sent to a sample of Chartered Engineers resident in the UK in 2002 to survey what 'managerial' skills and expertise they need in their jobs. The conclusions are intended to guide employers, teachers, training staff, the professional Institutions, regulatory authorities, government departments and engineers themselves on what may be needed stage by stage in the education and careers of professional engineers. The report includes comparisons with data obtained in a similar survey in 1979.
The paper presents results from a survey ofcivil engineers' jobs, their organizational positions, and the managerial skills and knowledge required. Analysis of the data obtained shows great difirences between these requirements and educational preparation for them. Much increased preparation through training, selfstudy and continuing education should therefore be of benefit t o civil engineers and the performance of their industry.
