Engineering Duty Officers (EDOs) in the U.S. Navy manage large development and procurement processes. Their initial training is provided in a six week EDO Basic Course at Port Hueneme, California. The students, who have higher degrees in one or more engineering disciplines, must learn to make complex decisions that incorporate the uncertainty of future events, and to convincingly present their acquisition recommendations to national leaders. Expected value theory provides one framework for making such complex decisions. Students compute an estimated value for each alternative choice by summing the utilities of all the potential consequences of that choice, and weighting those utilities by the estimated likelihood of that outcome. Using the iRides simulation-training system, we developed a software application that provides a simple interface for examining and presenting the expected values of choices in an EDO context. To support the use of this software tool—the EDO Decision Aid—in the context of the class, representations of specific alternative solutions to a class problem were developed
