According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary, ‘engineer’ comes from the Latin words ‘ingeniare’ and ‘ingenium’, which mean to contrive and cleverness, respectively. Engineers are undoubtedly necessary in our world as they are trained to apply scientific knowledge for the best use of natural and technological resources.
And while they learn in college how to use problem-solving skills for technical issues, not everyone develops the ability to use this knowledge in a leadership and management setting.
Therefore, those who have really acquired the capacity to solve problems for technical issues and in the social sphere of leadership are worthy of double praise. That includes the special features of good planning, delegation, communication and people management.
If someone has done a lot on leading from an engineering and a management perspective, that is Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy. As a hardworking servant of his country, he earned the positions of Construction and Cadastral of Tuol Kork District Phnom Penh (2010-2017) and Construction and Cadastral of Kandal Steng District Kandal Province (2017 to the present) as Chief of Office of the Department of Land Management Urban Planning. The contributions he has made to his country, Cambodia, have earned him the honor of being given the 1st Royal Order of Cheatobaka granted by H.M. the King of Cambodia.
Moreover, Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy is an honorary member of the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organisation as an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer. This should be no surprise as he holds a very comprehensive education background: He received a Bachelor of Civil Engineering at Institute of Technology of Cambodia (1995), a MSc in Civil Engineering at International University (2008) and a Ph.D in Business Administration at Asia Euro University (2018). In a sign of interest in increasing his academic and research training, Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy became a recent graduate of the European International University-Paris’ Professional Doctorate in Business Administration (2022).
Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy
“Having the educational and research support of the EIU-Paris has helped me improve in the service I have given to my country, which is the highest honor of my life.”
One of his most prolific contributions in the area of management is a deep analysis of SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT IN KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA, which is available on EIU-PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY. As he asserted on this thesis, “land is livelihood” in Cambodia and there lies the importance of making good use of this economic assent, which is a source of work and wealth. As several citizens of this nation have been dispossessed from their lands, it was necessary to offer an insightful set of solutions to this problem. The Government started the LMAP program and its main goal was to create a system to register land with issued titles and, as a consequence, to grant land security for the poor. However, there were significant shortcomings in the project that led to disappointment from the World Bank and the citizens. Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy’s work finds the balanced way to appreciate what was done in a correct way and what needs to improve for Cambodia to be a fair and well managed country in the field of land sustainability.
So, it is clear that engineers need management skills if they want to succeed in solving issues or proposing solutions to big problems, just like Prof. Dr. Nam Vuthy has done.
