“…Today, those numbers are surely even smaller. (Smerdon, 1997, p.21) The engineering profession is subject to continuous innovation; in order to maintain competitive advantage engineers must have a rapid response to the pressures of the global market by always being one step ahead in their incorporation of new knowledge into their products (Fink, 2001;Midwinter, 1999;Whittaker, 1989). Consequently, to remain professionally effective, and hence be able to maintain their jobs and advance in their careers, engineers must update their knowledge continuously throughout their professional endeavors (Fink, 2001;Midwinter, 1999;Smerdon, 1997).…”

Therefore, as several researchers have stated, engineers must not think that their education in technical and human behavior skills ends after college, but they must see it as a lifetime project (Baldwin, 1996;Fink, 2001;Hecker, 1997;Midwinter, 1999;Smerdon, 1997). "Ultimately it is up to the individual to pursue lifelong learning of these skills, and it is the role of employers and educators to instill in a student the need and desire to hone these skills for the rest of their professional career" (Hecker, 1997, p.62).…”
