Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Tuesday 24 February, 12:00 noon – 1:30 p.m., 301 Coordinated Sciences Lab (CSL)
Professor Russell Korte, Department of Human Resource Education
Abstract: After several years of demanding study, new graduates in engineering emerge from higher education as professionals eager to apply their expertise to societal problems. However, most engineers practice within the context of organizations, which impose constraints and demands largely grounded in the complex social systems in the workplace. This seminar presents the results of an ongoing study of the socialization process experienced by newly hired engineers in four different organizations (including one international site). It recounts their rich experiences as they adjust to the workplace and learn the social norms of organizational life.
