Effect of Information and Communication Technology In The Local Engineering Project Management

Abstract

Although many of the proposals and studies that dealt with software and planning of engineering projects, varied from each other in the nature of subject discussion, but they have lacked the integrated theoretical frameworks about the subject. Therefore, the research problem is "lack of studies that determine the computer software and information and communication technology which help in raising the efficiency of performance in engineering project management in the design and executive stages." The research aims to identify the software and the level of information and communications technology which is used in the engineering consulting organizations. The theoretical framework has been determined in order to achieve the research objective, it includes the planning stages and its characteristics and elements of the project plan and identify the software and information technology used in professional practice, and conduct a practical study through a questionnaire for local engineering consulting organizations, then analyzing the practical study, discussed the results and give conclusions.
