Abstract
TRW Systems and Energy, Inc. employs more than a thousand software people. Our software work is done generally for the U.S. Government. It ranges from one-shot, one-month simulation jobs to very large projects involving 300-person teams for several years. We generally hire about 25–50 software people per year from Universities. We find, in general, that they are very well prepared by Universities to perform some software engineering functions, primarily in the area of systems programming. However, they aren’t very well educated to perform several software engineering functions which are particularly important in our work. Here is a list of the most important ones.
