How did they get involved?

“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 Gottlieb, P.E., State Legislator, Wisconsin

Motivation Factors of Young Engineers Motivation Factors of Young Engineers – Document produced 2008– 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 Motivating the Next GenerationGeneration

Presented NSPE Convention Portland 2008Presented 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 they’re going to be a bigger part of the work force.”

– Dan Black, Ernst & Young campus recruiter (CNN 6/6/08)
