Enshassi, A (1996) Training for Palestinian engineers to face the challenges of multinational enterprises in the Gaza Strip. Building Research & Information, 24(4), pp. 222-227. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
Current training initiatives are assessed for Palestinian engineers who will need to be well trained and who will be directly involved alongside foreign engineers in building the infrastructure and large scale projects in the newly developing Gaza Strip. Continuing education and training is a normal part of all engineers' professional responsibility and despite the relatively high number of Palestinian universities (six in the West Bank, including an Open University and two in the Gaza Strip) there is an awareness that, in this special situation, training should be considered as a part of the implementation strategy and a national training institute should take responsibility for such work, preferably with feasibility studies to determine real needs and aims for further professional engineering training.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
