Engineering Learning and Web 2.0
Richard Hoeg writes a blog, works and honeywell and has started an Engineering Learning and Knowledge Support Wiki. His lastest post asks for feedback on engineering knowledge transfer - Knowledge Collaboration, Learning and Web 2.0 … What’s Next?
This is my first serious test of asking a question via Web 2.0. I’ve asked this same question via Facebook, LinkedIn and now my blog. I’m trying to expand my own knowledge base as I consider new programs for my company. I’ve got actual budget for 2008, but I’m concerned about adding “same old / same old”. Thus my question … I’ll use your answers in an engineering strategy meeting later next week. Thanks.
If one is trying to encourage engineering knowledge transfer and learning at one’s corporation … and you are already using internal blogs, wikis and tagging tools / social networks … what would you do next? Are there “specific” online resources, tools or courses in which you would invest for engineering knowledge sharing and learning? Why?

This is Rich Hoeg chiming in; thanks for adding this post. This is a very serious question for me. Should my company invest in more courses via online engineering programs, web 2.0 tools, or things I haven’t even considered? Given limited budgets, all of the above is never a reasonable answer. In addition, I’m not certain the younger engineer is all that intrigued with the concept of traditional courses. I’ve explored Second Life, but for I don’t think this kind of sim is yet ready for prime time, particulariy if you are not a “software guy”.
