The Utilisation of Professional Engineering Skills in Kenya

Paul Bennell

A chapter in Technological Capability in the Third World, 1984, pp 335-353 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While the provision of engineering manpower has, for obvious reasons, been consistently identified as being of crucial importance in the development of the indigenous technological capabilities of less developed countries (LDCs), relatively little detailed research has focused on the training and utilisation of engineering skills in these countries. This is clearly revealed by even a cursory review of the literature, which is overly preoccupied with analysing the adverse effects of technological dependence without considering in any systematic manner the engineering manpower aspects of this problem.
