Abstract

We developed project-management training-support tools. The tools consist of a Web-based training (WBT) (e-learning) system and software designed to teach bridge software engineers (SEs) methods for solving problems. We asked a group of bridge SEs to participate in an experiment to determine whether training with our tools would improve their project-management and/or problem-solving skills. The results suggest that WBT (e-learning) is an effective method for acquiring explicit knowledge. However, the results also suggest that the software designed to teach the SEs methods for solving problems is ineffective in improving their problem-solving skills.
