The South African economy is currently experiencing a slow growth rate as a result of amongst other things, a shortage of engineers and technicians. This study sets out to investigate the present utilization and shortage of mechanical engineers. It was felt that with a comprehensive knowledge of the utilization of mechanical engineers, industrialists would be better equipped to improve productivity by taking the necessary steps to ensure effective utilization of engineering manpower. The study gathered empirical data, by means of a survey, from seven hundred and sixty seven (767) respondents located throughout South Africa. The study established that the present utilization of mechanical engineers is about sixty (60) percent and that the most probable cause of the poor utilization is a lack of sufficient technical support staff for the engineer. 2014-10-11T12:16:36Z 2014-10-11T12:16:36Z 1989 Master Thesis Masters MIndAdmin http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8392 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
