Framework Design and Prototyping of a Personal Task and Time Management Mentor Package with A Dynamic, Multi-facet, Data-oriented and Associative Engineering Management Method

There have been many new operational drivers that require changes to the traditional training processes in small and medium companies, i.e. the advancement of technology, the mass retirement of the baby boomer generation, and the ever more dynamically-changing values of the web-generation workforce. Dealing with bridging the skill gaps may deem to uproot the company paradigm and demand for a new and more efficient model. Is there a solution to reduce the growing pain of workforce renewal? The goal of this project is to design and prototype an effective, data-oriented, and intuitive mentoring tool that is molded for small companies which can implement a company paradigm that allows to effectively train new employees with modern data-based learning technology. The intern is expected to develop a method, prototype the tool, and use it to collect and analyze sample data and further prove the innovative mechanism.
