The purpose of the Rotation Program for Engineers is to provide a career enhancement opportunity through work experience in their home department and other engineering organizations. The Rotation Program offers engineers with nine months to five years' experience the opportunity to gain work experience in areas other than their home departments and groups. In addition to gaining a new perspective, rotation assignments serve as a vehicle for meeting people, establishing key job-related contacts, and developing interpersonal relationships. Assignments typically will last about six months. Assignment decisions will be made considering both the business need and the career benefit of building an engineer's knowledge base and diversity of experience. In every decision, the individual's qualifications, aptitude and interests must be considered before the assignment is confirmed.

The goals of this program:

• Increase an engineer's knowledge of various elements of their engineering organization.
