Yet there is evidence to suggest that the strategies and processesassociated with managing and developing engineers are significantly different from managingother types of talent, and very little scholarly research has addressed the specific issues involvedwith managing engineering talent. As engineering educators, we need to build a framework tobetter understand and contribute to the continuous development and learning of engineers in theworkplace.
