A Simulation Recruitment Tool for Engineering Management

Abstract

This article summarizes the application of the Palmtop Simulation Program within the "Introduction to Engineering '98" a summer program for high school juniors and seniors offered at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The simulation model provides an enjoyable experience for young students without business background to make decisions related to the new product innovation process and highlights the usefulness of business skills for engineers. It also summarizes the results of a survey given to the students after their simulation experience. The survey represents the students' perception of how much they learned about the importance of business related skills.
