Book excerpt: While classroom learning is suited for conveying basic information to large numbers of people, Hoag (Engine Research Center, U. of Wisconsin at Madison) argues that continuing education for engineers most often requires small groups of people to rapidly develop proficiencies. He discusses the roles of upper management, direct supervisors, and individual engineers in his proposed model for continuing education in organizations. After outlining the model, he discusses applications related to rotational programs, organizational assessment, and program evaluation. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
