They each had a one-day interview where they talked with five to seven different people inthe company (typical was three developers, two product managers, a program manager, and one of theVPs). Information from their resumes and notes from their interviews are attached.All of them have graduated from UWT with a degree in CSS.Your goal is to make the following decision regarding hiring: Who should be hired for the two positions(program manager and software developer)?The context for the in-class activity will be the final hiring committee meeting to make the hiringdecision(s).

U.S. manufacturing continues to lead that of other nations in industrial productivity. Manyaerospace-related industries are now positioning themselves overseas with various sized operations.A 1993 study by McKinsey illustrates that, as of 1990, Japanese workers were only 83 percent as productive asU.S. employees in manufacturing, and German workers were 79 percent as productive. A key finding of theMcKinsey study is that competition played a key role in the U.S. lead. If Germany and Japan open their marketsto competition in the future, as is expected, sales and employment will gruw to meet export market

Page 14.162.11there is a strong job market. However, it seems clear that employers would have a preference forthe CE grads over CET grads which could create a “class” structure within the program.The most common reason for a preference to hire CE over CET graduates is licensure, notability. Employment is an area where personal bias also plays a role in hiring. This bias is notlimited to CE vs. CET. Some engineering firms will have a preference for graduates from thesame institution that the firm’s principle(s) attended.8. Potential CostsThe potential CE curriculum presented in Figure 2 consists of 100% existing courses at ourUniversity. Therefore, the cost of teaching (i.e. additional faculty, associated office space andlabs) would be very

It wasdecided to research and survey several significant areas for this proposal: (1) Academicinstitutions that are currently reviewing trends towards new educational approaches; (2)Corresponding technical articles describing the trends; (3) Current efforts in academe;and (4) Industrial sources (both manufacturing and engineering-based) that have adirect/current need for engineering.
