Engineers in Elected OfficePower Point
Presentation

• 2005-2006 Investigate engineers who are serving
  or have recently served in elected offices

How did they get involved? What have they been
able to accomplish? What should other engineers
be doing to support these efforts?
My background in a profession which is more
analytical than most people has made me a person
that others seek out in relation to issues that
are detailed and require lots of quantitative
analysis (budgeting, aid formulas, etc.) Mark

Motivation Factors of Young Engineers Document
produced 2008

• PEPP YEAC distributed a survey to over 4,000
  young engineers (younger than 35) at different
  stages of their careers and in various
  disciplines and geographical areas with over 600
  responses received.
• The document included information on
• Generational Parallels Compare Gen X/Gen
  Y/Millenials
• Motivating Factors
• De-motivating Factors
• Dispelling Myths Are the next generations
  really that different?
• Think about why you became an engineer in the
  first place. Chances are the answer to that is
  different for everyone. If you can pinpoint what
  makes engineering interesting/exciting/etc., then
  that's your motivation.

Motivating the Next GenerationPresented NSPE
Convention Portland 2008

• Rank top motivating factors from list of 25
  suggestions.
• Determine the top 10 responses and overall
  motivating factors of young engineers.
• The top de-motivating factors were also
  determined.
• Many companies may underestimate the cost of
  losing young engineers, therefore under invest in
  them.
• The things that this generation is asking for
  flexibility, balance, opportunities are all
  things that previous generations wanted, but they
  feel much more emboldened to ask for these
  things. They know theyre going to be a bigger
  part of the work force.
