This simulation paradigm has been employed in the Technical Managementintroductory courses at The Johns Hopkins University – Engineering for Professionals for morethan a decade. Recently, this concept has been introduced into a higher-level Communications inTechnical Organizations course in the program.

We are interested instudying the relative effect that MEAs designed around specific concepts can have on studentlearning compared to more traditional instructional methods. Although MEAs were originallydesigned to improve the understanding of technical concepts, our earlier research has found that theydo improve students’ problem solving and professional skills and result in significant learning gains;however, they may only marginally increase students’ level of knowledge compared to moretraditional methods. In this paper we provide an in-depth investigation of how measuring bothstudents’ performance as well as their confidence is affected by exposure to MEAs. Specifically, weask the

The popular approach assumes that(i) writing skills are static, (ii) students have mastered their subject matter, and (iii) students havesolved the “audience puzzle.”This paper argues for the unique benefits of maintaining an in-house writing program forundergraduate - and graduate - level engineering students. It holds that only an in-house programcan integrate technical content with writing and critical thinking to teach students.

Specifically, we investigated how muchmanagement training these managers had before and in the two years after their firstmanagement position. Finally, we conclude with recommendations to help improve thetechnical specialist’s transition to manager, as well as suggestions for further research.Conceptual Background Organizations have recognized that some engineers want to be managers becausemanagement is often the only available avenue of advancement for them. Technicalprofessionals have reported difficulties in transitioning to management, but theirimmediate supervisors
