, this level of training is not always sufficient. For universities or businesses vying for lucrative grants,oftentimes these teams may not be considered competitive without having some level of formal education andexperience with UAS/sensor suites. Engineers and scientists may desire to serve as Program Investigators (PI)for grants or as Mission Directors for team flight operations, but often lack practical experience. Likewise,newer UAS pilots may lack requisite technical expertise in UAS/sensor capabilities.In the academic world, students are also looking for ways to gain practical aerospace engineering, remotesensing, and UAS missions experience.

Moreover, the comparison between the socialization actions of newly-hiredemployees and engineering managers has not been fully explored.Based on the proactive actions and the supportive actions identified from twenty-six newly-hired engineers and seven engineering managers, this study compares the two perspectives byfollowing Morrison’s framework of primary socialization tasks (i.e., Role Clarification, TaskMastery, Acculturation, and Social Integration). Similarities and differences betweennewcomers’ and managers’ actions during the socialization process are revealed, specificallyin the context of the U.S. aerospace and defense (A&D) industry.This study expands the research literature to reveal both perspectives of newly-hiredengineers and
