Engineers React: what they think about psychology

This exploratory study generates questions and considers emerging themes concerning psychology in engineering education. Psychologists frequently tell engineers what they think. This paper is designed for engineers to tell psychologists what they think. Information gained from engineer response suggests possibilities for both research and organisational change. Results generate significant questions for further investigation. What psychology courses are of interest or relevance to engineers? What underlying factors contribute to the differences in the approaches of engineers' and psychologists' thinking? Is there a systematic effort to create possibilities in scheduling for more than one course? Have strategies for managing the prerequisite sequence in psychology been explored?. © 1988, Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
