Fromthe participants' interviews, benefits ranged from pension plans to educational plans for employees. Whileone manager noted that, in general, benefits have been improving recently, another participant noted thatthe removal of a pension plan had lowered the retention rate at their organization. It is clear that benefitsare unique to each company and the way they affect newcomers is influenced by both internal and externalfactors, as seen in the idea of competitive retention mentioned in the economy theme. • “A lot of people would say it's

In short, in our capstone course there are manydeliverables that the students struggle to manage, especially since they may have otherchallenging coursework, and many are holding part-time jobs (e.g., with their co-op employers).Probably the most challenging part of the project is that it is done collaboratively in a team.While we do incorporate teamwork in previous coursework (e.g., lab reports), none of theprevious experiences are as intensive as in the capstone course.

Beginning with the “supply” ofraw intellectual talent (i.e., students) provided from a variety of sources (e.g., high schools,community colleges, etc.), the educational system “produces” civil engineering graduates, whichare then “distributed” to the workforce or to post-graduate education. The “need” driving thesystem is the ability to plan, lead, and execute civil engineering design, and the “customers” arepublic employers, private companies, nonprofit organizations, graduate programs, and thepublic-at-large.

Animportant characteristic of a SMT is the power of people. Fisher [17] says that people are thecompetitive advantage. Commitment by members results in their empowerment andconsequently creates an effective self-managing team. “Self-directed work teams are the mostadvanced form of empowerment” (p.14). Cummings [16] offered a characterization of self-managed teams that is appropriate forthe purposes of this study. Self-managed teams are responsible for the whole task they areassigned.

The teams in this course were assessed during thecourse and showed gains in applying theory to practice.

They also proposed a Real World Software Process with four different phases: (1) Phase Zero –developing a project proposal which addresses the client‟s needs and clearly identifies goals and successcriteria, (2) Phase One – requirements gathering, release planning, and the initial development, (3) PhaseN – the generic, repeatable cycle in which the functionality of the system is incrementally extended andthe
