Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines technical obsolescence, investigating how engineers keep their skills relevant over time. It explores historical and contemporary perspectives, acknowledging the long-held concerns about the potential for professionals to fall behind in their fields as technology adv…ances. The author investigates whether the problem is one of individual knowledge decay or a wider organizational issue. Drawing on empirical research, the book challenges the commonly held belief that older engineers are more susceptible to obsolescence, arguing instead that factors such as managerial expectations, work environment, and career goals play a significant role. The book provides valuable insights and practical strategies for addressing this issue, demonstrating the importance of organizational support, continuing education, and challenging work assignments in mitigating obsolescence and maintaining professional currency.
