AbstractTo transform the industry practices for addressing the evolving challenges/opportunities in the near-future circumstances, the construction education/training sector of many developing countries feels the requirement for new features in the job roles of construction engineers and project managers. This study aims to design a new training guide for the continuous professional development of engineers and project managers on performance and productivity improvement practices in construction. Based on identified efficacious tools/models/systems through literature review, an exhaustive functional mechanism was laid, which was the key to developing the training elements through a sequence of processes, including interviews/meetings/discussions/reviews with industry and academic experts. The developed training guide describes all the required elements of training, especially training aims/outcomes/contents/delivery/assessments/weights/etc. The validation of the proposed training guide was ensured through expert reviews and feedback. The study has constructed a new bridge that connects industrial and institutional practices for the implementation of constructive approaches and operative systems/practices towards the economic recovery, social development and sustainability of a nation. Though the study findings are limited to the construction field in a developing country like Sri Lanka, the study outcomes may contribute to other engineering fields as well as to other developing industry sectors within a similar scope. |
