An interesting piece of information from our College Dean, Charlie Jones.
The Detroit Free Press (9/21,
Bomey) reports, "The auto industry is back on campus and hiring a different
breed of engineer - those who can help invent the next generation of complex
software that pushes the envelope on mpg, clean emissions and crash avoidance
technologies." US, "Asian and European automakers and suppliers find themselves
in a new recruitment arena battling Amazon, Apple, Facebook, SpaceX and others
for the top software engineering talent." Car companies "don't just need
engineers that understand horsepower and aerodynamics. For example, GM plans to
hire up to 500 workers at a recently launched software center in Austin, Texas,
home to IBM, Samsung and Facebook offices."
