Running short on time today so I will get to the business immediately...Don't forget to schedule your required meeting with me. These meetings need to be
wrapped up by May 7.
- Sophomores: 5 meetings – beginning of academic year, course request, mid-year (December or January), course request & end of academic year.
- Juniors: 4 meetings – beginning of academic year, both course requests, mid-year OR end of academic year.
- Seniors: 2 meetings – beginning of academic year and mid spring.
Don't forget to attend The
MSE Kroehling Advanced materials Foundry Spring Open House is this weekend. Directions were sent an an earlier email.
And finally... The
lab portion of MSE 4334 appears to overlap with Senior Recitation on the
time table. Dr. Staley, Dr. Suchicital, and Dr. Murayama have discussed the
overlap. Dr. Murayama will hold his lab every other week in Holden after
recitation – exact dates have yet to be determined. Because of the overlap you
will not be able to add this course – please email me ASAP if you want to be
added to MSE 4334.
Seniors, please ask your parents to RSVP for the Graduation Reception.

So why, over the past few weeks,
have I been telling you about the different generations in the work place?
Well, for starters you will be there one day. In addition to that, you need to
have an understanding of communicating with people outside your generation –
they are everywhere!
I’ve shared two examples of the
different generations in the work place; the first about communication and the
second about knowledge employees. Again, you ask, why do I need to know this?
For various reasons people change employment.
I don’t want to go into all the various reasons now – that is a topic for
another day. I do want to look one reason: communication. Many people leave a
job because they think they dislike the way information is shared. Do they
truly understand why the people are communicating and sharing information they
way they do? Do they understand it is generationaly based?
Why is this important? Replacing an
employee is time consuming and expensive. To replace an employee who earns $8
an hour would cost the company $3,500 to replace. That is an estimate to
replace the labor – it is very difficult to put a cost of the knowledge of the
employee. Referring to last week’s example … how much will it cost the company
with Jack retires? Those of you who want to start your own company one day will be asking this very question.
