Old Guard / CECD Working LuncheonSaturday, June 7, 200812:00 P.M. – 2:00 P.M.
Who is an Early Career Engineer? • 0-10 years removed from undergraduate degree • Generally 35 years old or younger • Multimedia savvy • Interdisciplinary
Vision for CECD • Transitioning ASME members from students to early career to mid career • Expand ECE involvement in ASME on a global scale • Establish partnerships with international early career groups • Develop and support programs for early career engineers
Where CECD is Headed • Global Products to Reach ECEs Worldwide • Multimedia Mass Distribution of Video Content through the Internet
Key Insights from Research • Career advancement and networking services and opportunities are highly valued • ASME’s lack of strong relationships with industry hinders its ability to use this channel to reach early career engineers • ECEs spends ~36 hours/week online
Key Insights from Research (2) • 95% of ECEs use the internet to get specification/product information • 94% of ECEs use the internet to get information on engineering topics • 89% of ECEs use the internet to get answers to engineering questions
Support ECEs Need from the Old Guard • Continued support of ECF & ECTC programs • Currently re-evaluating the early career programs using a metric of effectiveness, value, and market penetration; once evaluation is complete, we look forward Old Guard support on future endeavors
Topics of Discussion • How do we globally expand? • How do we expand domestically? • What skills are ECEs lacking and how can we provide a service to fill that void? • What should we focus on (or what is missing)?
