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

Industry Lessons Learned and Application to Engineering Education James D. Lang, Paul B. Hugge McDonnell Douglas Corporation Significant change is taking place in the way aerospace products are designed and developed. Thesechanges involve not just technology but represent some fundamental ‘Gre-engineering” of design anddevelopment processes. In addition, much of this “re-engineering” is representative of actions that are beingimplemented throughout all of U.S. industry. McDonnell Douglas Aerospace (MDA) has found that this newway of doing business has significant implications in the educational requirements for our techmcal workforce.These

Walker, urged in November 2002 to “reverse immedi-ately the decline in the scientifically and technologically trained U.S. aerospace workforce andpromote its future growth.”3 In another chilling observation, an editorial in AIAA’s AerospaceAmerica noted that “80% [of aerospace workers] said that they would not recommend aerospacecareers for their own children.” In addition, enrollment in nation’s engineering schools steadilydeclines, while many undergraduate and graduate students are foreign nationals, which makesthem largely ineligible for
