Real-Life Professional Problem-Solving Efforts of Engineers and Related Learning Activities

In 1980, an in-depth study was undertaken involving two-hour interviews with 40 practicing engineers at three sites. This study investigated the nature and types of formal or informal learning activities these engineers engaged in for reaching solutions to specific, on-the-job engineering problems. The emphasis was on the problem-specific nature of the learning activities employed, rather than on general professional development.
