The defense industry is one of the largest recruiters of STEM graduates in the nation. Thousands of engineering students enter this industry and must justify the morality of their work. These engineers work on projects that affect themselves, the engineering profession, and the entire world population. This paper will look into some of the facts surrounding engineering in the defense industry, its intended and unintended consequences, and judge the work of these engineers by applying Egoism, Utilitarianism

Despite the fact that the “tepid budget scenario” seems to have put a stop on “big awards in a sluggish defense industry,” Raytheon Company has still managed to secure a small number of deals. This is mainly due to Raytheon’s “vital growth driver”—their success in the foreign military sales area. International sales were projected to account for 30% of 2014 sales.

Judy Lovelace, in “Rosie the Riveter Revisited,” describes her personal experiences and conflicting thoughts while working for the war effort. Lovelace’s

Aerospace and Defense (A&D) Industry Competitive Analysis The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) is a highly concentrated industry (Global Edge, n. d.). The market is largely dominated by a small number of large companies in the industry, which is a characteristic of an oligopolistic competition. The major players in the industry include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, (Choi, 2016). In oligopolistic market, companies make decisions based on their own actions as

revenue employees will then be replaced either by machines or more experienced workers. If the increase in minimum wage were to be granted, the price of every item will increase to keep the profit margin to its merchant. In the article “In Defense of the Fast Food Industry” Jason Leavitt explains, McDonald’s Corporation charges its franchises 4% of sales and an additional fee which could be as much as 8.5%. Prices will need to be raised to cover the expense of materials and labor. The higher cost will

As a result of conflicting requirements from the Services and unforeseen excess of the Average Unit Manufacturing Cost, the JLTV program was threatened to its termination during its development. The protection, configurations, payload, weight and reliability requirements were changed during the process that were considered to be uncommon compared to the other programs. For example, “DOD had planned to award two contracts for the EMD phase, which was scheduled to last 24 months, but instead opted

Analysis Background The “Ocean’s Eleven” movie has been chosen for the analysis in this paper mainly because of its unique storyline. Having a group of 11 people executing an indigenous plan to steal $150 million from a vault shared by three Las Vegas’ Casinos. The executed plan will be examined and mapped into a “7 stages” kill chain construction. In our analysis, we have adopted the “7 stages” kill chain model (Hutchins et al., 2011) to describe our mapping from an adversary engaging an attack
