About the Meeting:
Contrary to conventional wisdom and Engineer Shortage Propaganda, students and members of the Engineering Community are facing extreme fluctuations in the demand for their skills and services. Unfortunately, this means that a lifetime career in engineering will be a thing of the past unless; decisive and collective action is taken by members of the Engineering Community
We will briefly look at a history of engineering manpower demand fluctuations over a 30 year period to familiarize you with the employment situation as shown by the Deutsch, Shea and Evans - High Tech Recruiting Index.
Our primary focus will be on Contract Engineering as an Alternate Employment Path with a detailed program to familiarize you with Contract Engineering. You will learn more from this presentation than many contract engineers know with years of experience
We will start with an introduction to Contract Engineering covering definitions, pay structure and the client, contract house, engineer relationship. You will learn who and what contract engineers are, where they work, when, why, how they get assignments, and whether this is for you. We will cover sources of contract firms and other related information through to getting an assignment and the contract.
