  abstract =     "Texas A{\&}M University was involved for ten years in
                 a program to train civilian engineers for the US Army.
                 The engineer, the program's product, was to be capable
                 of moving into positions of management and middle
                 management within the civilian employment force of the
                 Army. Most of the participants held various
                 undergraduate degrees in engineering, science, or
                 mathematics, and a few held degrees in technology or
                 business. The structure and tenure of the program made
                 it feasible for the participants to earn a Master's
                 degree in Industrial Engineering. Once on the job, many
                 of the engineers found they were faced with large data
                 file manipulation and information retrieval tasks. To
                 many, this meant time consuming efforts and often
                 additional training or help from other departments. The
                 authors believe that some of the engineer's job
                 frustrations were inherent in the manner in which the
                 computer's growth and application has influenced the
                 pedagogy of computer courses related to engineering
                 curricula. The authors also believe they have found one
                 solution to the problem within the confines of the
                 above mentioned Army civilian engineer training
                 program.",
