The half-life of engineering knowledge is 2 years
Your engineering knowledge decays by 50% every two years
After 10 years, the typical engineer is down to 3% of retained knowledge

 

 

Knowledge Decay Equation Knowledge At t = 0 : Graduation Time Constant = 2 Years

 

 

 

The Problem
Starting with a knowledge level of 3.127% and assuming that you are in a program which can double your knowledge every 2 months
1. at what knowledge level will you be after 2 months with an industry refresher
2. at what knowledge level will you be after 10 months with the ENSYS re-education program ?

 

 

The solution

Knowledge Growth Equation Knowledge In Percent, 10 Years After Graduation Time Constant = 2 Months

 

 

Refreshers of other providers

ENSYS training program

runs for 40 hours runs for 1000 hours
lasts 2 months lasts 6 to 12 months
uses the traditional lecture method uses the successful R-I-M-S problem-solving training method
assume that it can double your knowledge every 2 months In this program you will be able to double your knowledge every 2 months
Time Knowledge Time Knowledge
t = 0 3.127% t = 0 3.127%
month 2 6.25% month 2 6.25%
month 4 12.5% month 4 12.5%
    month 6 25%
    month 8 50%
    month 10 100%

 

It has taken years for your engineering knowledge to decay
With The right program and the proper amount of time, you can rebuild your knowledge
ENSYS is the only provider with an engineering re-education program which is specifically designed to rebuild your engineering knowledge
