forboth recruiting and training for many years. While these motivators are not exclusive to males,they do in general appear to be stronger motivators for males than females.This traditional approach to recruiting makes the assumption that young men and young womenare the same, and are most strongly motivated by the same factors. This philosophy of havingno difference in recruiting motivations reflects much of the philosophy of the IndustrialPsychology work of the 1970’s.1 Most of the Industrial Psychology research done with regardto human resource management in job selection and job evaluation, stressed gender equivalencyas a main issue. That human resource work very strongly discouraged any dissimilar evaluation

The grant was written and put in place as aresponse to two perceived problems. First, national reports indicate that U.

This begins with a discussion of the unique opportunities and challengesassociated with the capstone design course. The role of big hairy audacious goals (BHAG)7 asan engine for both personal and organizational development is discussed. An excellent seniordesign project and experience is established as the ultimate goal of the capstone sequence.

During the admissions process, each student was notified of anydeficiencies (missing courses) in his or her AAS program that must be made up, but choices ofparticular humanities electives and transfer credit for any work beyond the AAS degree requirecareful advising to avoid lengthening the student's program.
