There Is Much Good Being Done By Honeywell Avionics

By Cornelia White


With an overwhelming number of American college students pursuing degrees in the Arts, one must wonder how companies like Honeywell avionics will recruit employees without looking overseas. Opportunities in the tech and information job fields grow more available every day. A nation needs to impress the importance of pursuing degrees in these fields and provide incentives as well.

Defense contractors are often the same people and corporations who provide the technology to private sector companies that provide similar, civilian services. The technology that keeps warplanes in the air is the same technology that keeps customers in the air while traveling during holidays and vacations. Developing technology that helps one is also developing technology that helps the other.

One way is to provide more scholarships for the math and science degrees. If students can gain access to an education by majoring in one or the others and maintaining a specific grade point average while doing it, you might see more young people with interest. Grants also give very helpful financial aid to those students who deserve it and should be expanded to include more tech fields.

Nobody knows better than the veteran what equipment will and will not work in the field. If a company is trying to develop a better weapons system to use in an unmanned aerial vehicle, someone who has used UAVs in the past is the best fit for the job. In this way, many defense contractors not only provide the best products but also provide jobs for military veterans.

Consider how easy Velcro makes shoes for toddlers and how convenient it makes keeping a purse closed. Without government funded research, these things would not have been developed. If something as simple as Velcro can immediately change the quality of life, imagine what could be done now with the advantages that have been made in computing software and hardware.

Another method could be making tech educations and math and science degrees "cool". There are any number of reality shows that promote the ability to sing or produce art. Why can't people turn that example in another direction? "America's Next Top Scientist" might turn out to be a great show and would sincerely encourage those few talented individuals who could compete to be more effective.

Rather than funneling money and time into the development of another pop star or survivalist, you could be channeling it into turning tech cool. If folks showed the appreciation for the individuals who develop great technology that they do for pop stars, more young people would think of them as role models. People should be encouraging that to begin with.

Despite the argument against government spending, research grants should be given to the teams of people who develop products in the technology fields. Companies who produce tech products and jobs, like Honeywell avionics, should be encouraged to become global leaders in research. By doing this, it will also guarantee that the United States becomes a leader not only in the production of tech products but also tech jobs.
