ABSTRACT: Performance results of managers with an engineering background

indicate higher failure rates in management than individuals from any other
functional area. Previous studies suggest that educational programs do not promote
social learning, instead focusing on a limited scope of knowledge transfer. Drawing
upon education and training that promotes individual problem solving, engineers
rarely performed well in management roles, where group skills such as teamwork,
facilitation, supervising, organizing, and resolving conflict are critical to overall
success. Additional challenges for educators can occur with online students. Feelings
of isolation are an important stress factor, and students report confusion, anxiety, and
frustration due to difficulties in communication with the instructor.

To address this issue, engineering management curriculum and courses should be

adapted to improve skills that promote contextual learning and knowledge
construction. This modification in engineering management courses should
incorporate case studies, project based learning, and discovery learning. Using these
tools, students investigate multiple issues and identify various solutions, rather than
find a single, optimal solution. Research in the area of social constructivism, or
learning within a social context, suggests that group knowledge construction, rather
than knowledge transfer, provides ideal learning. These approaches to education
create the new paradigm that teaches students to discover and construct knowledge
for themselves.

At Eastern Michigan University (EMU), the Graduate Engineering Management

online program has evolved from “content” to “context” based, using Learning
Design methodology and Knowledge Management/ Utilization. Students learn best
when their current view of knowledge is challenged, reformed, and synthesized
through interaction with others. By applying the Classroom Community Scale results
from studies on the effect of students’ learning style, gender, and acquaintance level,
the EMU team created a methodology to develop effective online case studies.
