Engineering managers are managers who have an understanding of both the technical and business aspects of organizations.  However, the success of an engineering manager depends on being knowledgeable in both the business and technical functions of an organization. There is a perception that engineers experience challenges in areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and leadership.  Defensive routines are actions implemented as a result of being in an embarrassing or threatening situation.  This research uses a case study approach to measure whether defensive routines are more common in engineering managers or non-engineering managers. 27 managers created case studies based on their unique experiences as managers.  These case studies were scored and the results show that defensive routines are more common in engineering managers than non-engineering mangers.

The findings of the study revealed the heightened tension zones for the students’ dealing with information based on checking graduation theses texts for matching content at Ryazan S. Yesenin State University. The case analysis was applied as the main method of investigation. Generalized data, obtained as the result of four cases analysis, demonstrate that the highest tension is observed in the area of the academic ethos values like honesty, respect and responsibility.
