Continuing education is critical for engineers and the organizations that employ them (Gomes, HoucheMong, Houche-Mong and Wakelin, 199 1; Wolff, 1993). However, findings on the impact of continuing engineering education are mixed. Social Research Inc. (1969)4 examined characteristics of engineers laid off by a major corporation. The common denominator was that none had taken part in continuing education during the preceding six years. Klus and Jones (1975)4 found a direct statistical relationship between individual engineers’ salaries and their participation in continuing education. Dalton and Thompson (1971) however, found no relationship between performance ratings of engineers and participation in continuing education. The limited research on the impact of continuing education contributes to the confusion.
