• Daikin McQuay operates three OEM plants in southern Minnesota (Faribault and Owatonna).
Project Background
• Daikin McQuay’s leadership in innovative energy efficient HVAC products and systems has resulted in substantial growth in market share.
• To sell, design and install these energy efficient HVAC products, Daikin McQuay as well as our reps must hire and train energy, sales and applications engineers, versed in the most current industry trends, technologies and standards.
• New graduate engineers take 3-4 years to be fully productive• Goal is to reduce development time by 1-2 years by providing a
comprehensive training program for new college graduates
Project Definition - Graduate Engineer Training (GET) Program

• Text books written by training staff ○ Three 200-300 page comprehensive training manuals○ All printed and being used in the class
• First Class successfully underway• Second class announced for July 19th start
○ Currently recruiting engineering graduates at University of Minnesota and University of St. Thomas
○ Anticipate 15 -20 participants
Results to Date
• Smaller then expected attendance in February (first) class due to:
○ Lack of engineers graduating in December○ Slow economy limiting positions available within McQuay
and partnering rep firms• Second class added to coincide with “graduation”
cycle
