At the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees, future engineers and young workers are now being regularly trained in documentary and scientific research techniques. This training is original in the sense that it is mainly based on the practical notions of online research as a pretext for acquiring a more general cognitive view of problem-solving: knowing how to define a problem, specifying the problem's environment, defining the potential areas of resource for solving a problem, etc. In other words, online research is an approach to training engineers to be receptive to: system analysis, value analysis, creativity techniques, problem-solving, critical analysis. Training in online information research using this approach, becomes a synthesising educational activity. It reveals a lack in basic training and is at the same time connected to computer assisted teaching (CAT).
