...Offshoring Impact on U.S. Software Engineers for Leadership and Organizational Behavior Thesis: In my workplace, we have been outsourcing some technical work to Mexico. It has been interesting the feedback we are getting from our programmers. Although we’re outsourcing only when the work exceeds our capacity, they’re rightly concern about their jobs; they are concern about offshoring. I would like to write a feasibility analysis of offshoring work for my class project. I would like to be specific to “offshoring impact to software engineers”.

...Personal Computers Introduction In today’s society almost every American family owns at least one personal computer. The personal computer technology has grown greatly improving the personal computer industry. Each year more and more improvements are made. Personal computers today are by far superior to personal computers of 40 years ago. Dimension One The operation of personal computers made today has grown tremendously from personal computers of 40 years ago. In the late 1970s into the 1980s, computers were developed for household use, offering personal productivity, programming and games. Personal computers were made much larger and more expensive systems were aimed for office and small business use. They were difficult to set-up, difficult to operate, and only had 4k bytes of memory. You would need to run several cords, and wires to set-up all the components, it would only operate in basic formats and was costly to upgrade to an expansion memory adapter. It was less expensive to just by the newest model. Dimension Two Nowadays, personal computers are in the workplace, schools, shopping facilities, and almost every household has at least one personal computer in the home. They are a lot more affordable which allows it to be a lot easier to own one. Today’s personal computers are more advanced then they were years ago. They can operate with multiple media for entering programs, for example compact disks, zip disks, and/or a floppy disk. On the...

...research engineer is the closest of a scientist. They explore fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics in order to overcome barriers preventing advancement in their field. They also conduct investigations using various means like experiments both large and small-scale. Development- The development function is often coupled with research in so called R&D divisions. Development engineers take knowledge acquired by researchers and apply it to a specific product or application. They continuously looking for ways to incorporate the findings of research, into prototypes to test their feasibilities for use in tomorrows products. Testing- Test engineers are responsible for designing and implementing test to verify the integrity, reliability, and quality of products before they are introduced to the public. They devise ways to simulate the conditions a product will be subjected to during life. Design- The design engineer is responsible for providing the detailed specifications of the product society uses. They use their knowledge of scientific and mathematical laws, coupled with experience, to generate a shape to meet design tools and are often supported by technicians trained in computer drafting software. Analysis- is an engineering function performed in conjunction with design, development, and research. They use mathematical models, and computational tools to provide the necessary information to design, develop, or research engineers to help...

The case of IT Services Industry is no different. In fact the skill gap widens even more, as the pace on which the technologies are changing in the IT / Digital space is the fastest. Concepts of IT have evolved so fast that it seems we have lived through multiple eras in less than a decade’s time – dot-com era; Information era with the advent of the powerful Search engine, Google and the knowledge collaborators, Wikis; the E-era, in which IT engulfed the whole Business value-chain with its e-models – e-commerce to e-business; then came the Social-era, which re-defined not just businesses but the people’s lives by taking them thousands of miles ahead in terms of reach, connectivity, opportunities, etc.; and now we are living in a Digital...

...Name: HUY HUYNH Class: PHIL-370 Instructor: Michael Davis Third Paper ENGINEERS AND LAYERS Ornella Muti, P.E., was retained by plaintiff’s attorney to evaluate a transponder used in small planes to determine whether it could have been the cause of a mid-air collision. While doing the evaluation, Muti discovered that the transponder has a flaw which, though unrelated to the collision, might well cause another dangerous error, failure to respond during the approach to landing if the ambient temperature is too high. Since this second flaw both concerns public safety and was unrelated to the case, Muti sent a senior engineer at the defendant company a copy of the relevant parts of her report when she sent the entire report to the plaintiff’s attorney, telling the attorney what she had done. Plaintiff’s attorney then filed a complaint with us, alleging breach of confidentiality, breach of contract, and other unprofessional conduct. The case is pretty simple to understand. Muti was hired by a plaintiff’s attorney to investigate a transponder whether it caused a mid-air collision. While doing so, she found an unrelated flaw that could cause a hazard. She sent a second engineer at the defendant company parts of her report, and then sent a full report to the plaintiff’s attorney, telling about the second engineer. The attorney filed a complaint against Muti. The case itself has a few ambiguous details. We have made the following assumptions to clarify these ambiguities so that we...

...understand the reality of ‘engineering.' For them, engineers are “super-humans” who build rockets, robots, electric vehicles and the like. The reason is that when a person says he works on a satellite project, people jump to the conclusion that he knows every detail of building a satellite. In reality, no engineer can know the entire details of projects. For example, it requires people from various disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering to design an electric car. Since the common man has the “super-human” view in mind, he generally does not accept or appreciate many of the “real” engineering works. For example, a home inverter might not bring about any awe to the common man as does an electric vehicle (though both might be equally challenging to build), because he often finds a technician setting right the problems in a home inverter. The technician just knows by experience what to do, whereas an engineer knows why it has to be done. Engineering is more valuable than science First, I will clarify the difference between ‘science' and ‘engineering' through a simple example. The study of optics of materials will fall under science. Scientists (physicists, in this case) will try to explain the optical properties which different materials possess. If someone tries to use the optical properties to make a microscope or a camera, he will be an engineer. Scientists establish facts which engineers exploit to make things useful to society.
