 "5 Proven Ways to Motivate and Retain Your Technology Team" - You've managed to piece together the "Dream
Team." Your tech staff works like a well-oiled machine, keeping your company humming and thriving. And then it happens:
dissension. For whatever reason, your employees have grown unhappy and you find out that they're searching for new employment
or losing productivity. What did you do wrong? Did you hire the wrong people? Did your company push them away? Or is it
a combination of numerous factors? In order to retain employees, you must build an environment that fosters loyalty and
growth.
 "Planning a Presentation -- Developing Your Communication
Skills" This free eBook describes a simple four-step process that you can use to create a presentation plan, whether you
are making a formal presentation or a routine presentation to your team. One of the most important management skills to
develop is the ability to quickly plan and structure a presentation so that you can give a strong performance even when
you have minimal time in which to prepare it. From this eBook, you will learn: The importance of creating an aim statement
to help you focus on what to include in your presentation. The key facts you need to find out about your audience before
you begin. How to define your key message statement and why this is such an important step. How to produce an outline scope
as efficiently as possible. How to quickly draft your content so that you can go forward into the preparation phase.
 "Competency-Based Interview Questions - Management Skills" This eBook explains how to answer competency-based
interview questions. These are behavioral questions, in which the interviewer will ask you to describe a situation that
demonstrates your abilities. You will learn: How to recognize competency-based questions and how to relate them to an organization's
competency framework. How to use the STAR method, which describes: the Situation, the Task required as a result, the Action
taken, and the Result of that action. How to use the SOARA method, which describes: Situation, Objective, Action, Results,
and Aftermath. How to pre-plan answers that ensure you give the best possible example of a particular behavior. How to formulate
a narrative that works well as an answer to a competency-based question.
 "Increasing Time to Market in Electrical Design" Learn how electrical and mechanical design can be integrated
into a single 3D platform for increased product innovation, faster time to market and lower costs. While 3D CAD technology
has revolutionized mechanical design for decades now, its electrical counterpart has languished in 2D. But no longer. Electrical
design doesn't need to be an afterthought when it comes to product development.
 "Design and Manufacturing: Breaking Down Barriers" This paper will explore how an integrated CAD/CAM
solution can help you unify the design through manufacturing process, and the benefits of doing so. It's now possible for
manufacturing to create tool paths in parallel with design so that production is fully prepared once a product's design
is released. Learn how CAD/CAM integration is improving the product development process. By enabling a concurrent, collaborative
approach to design through manufacturing, product design and manufacturing personnel improve communication and quality,
saving time and money.
 "The Future of Drones: Sky-High Hopes vs. Regulatory Realities" The tech giants are thought to be using
their fleets of high-altitude, solar-powered drones to extend the reach of Internet connectivity across the entire planet.
When Raphael Pirker needed overhead shots for a commercial he was filming at the University of Virginia, instead of spending
thousands of dollars to rent a helicopter, he attached a camera to a 5-lb. (2.3 kilograms) model airplane, creating a custom
drone to capture high-flying aerial views of the campus. A year earlier, the 29-year-old photographer piloted a similar
drone around the Statue of Liberty in New York, buzzing the monument's iconic crown and recording stunning close-up views
of Liberty Island and downtown Manhattan. Drones have been used by the military for decades, but Pirker's videos offer a
glimpse of just one possible way these robotic fliers could be used in the future. As advances in technology have made drones
smaller and more accessible, their potential applications are extending far beyond their use as warfighters for the military
or toys for hobbyists.
