WORKFORCE CHALLENGES FOR AEROSPACE ENGINEERS
Succession Planning Issues Specialized and specific knowledge
Less interest in Aerospace Engineering Students seeking a more entrepreneurial
environment Perceived lack of opportunities
Many projects depend on scope of military projects and requirements of the US Government

CHALLENGES TO HR PROFESSIONALS
Identifying and hiring serial innovators Motivating and engaging engineers Creating HR policies that reward engineers
appropriately Facilitating seamless on-boarding for new
and experienced hires

What We Wanted to Learn about Engineers
How are they motivated? Do they have special training or educational
needs? How do they feel about HR?

HR IMPLICATIONS Need to understand that engineers are
empowered by challenging and meaningful projects
Should find ways to help engineers develop pride and ownership of their projects
When possible, break large projects into smaller pieces and allow engineers to work on autonomous, intimate teams
Engineers are always interested in learning, so HR should provide them with top-notch development programs
Even though they love their work, they also enjoy work-life balance, so we should develop programs to help them accomplish this

Student Perspective on Engineering Curriculum

HR IMPLICATIONS
Communicate through crucial, candid conversations
Realize that engineers may not have training in the basics of business and provide training opportunities or workshops to address this
Find ways to give engineers unique experiences to develop their leadership skills
Provide learning opportunities where engineers can practice explaining their technical work to non-technical people
Work with target universities to add soft skill training and more writing-intensive courses to the undergraduate engineering curriculum

HR Implications
Realize that engineers do view HR as an important asset to the company and to their own careers and develop relationships to enhance that feeling
Consider ways to interview engineering candidates that allows them to showcase their technical skills and include people who can understand and rate their skills in the interview process
Make sure to be honest and open in order to earn the trust and respect of engineers—especially if in a role that may present a conflict of interest

FINAL TAKEAWAY….COLLABORATION IS KEY
Break communication barriers by ensuring that both HR and Engineering staff are trained to understand the technical and business aspects or the organization
This will create a partnership between the two and help the organization achieve an environment of collaboration and trust
