many educational challenges both for new recruitsand also to continuously update the skills of those employed. However, the main focusof this paper is with those who use the electronic products (category B in figure 1).It is easy to lose sight of the needs of the much larger workforce that designs, builds andsustains the electronic systems. One of the reasons is that the work is no longer limitedto one industry segment. Positions that use electronics skills are now to be found in awide range of industries including biotechnology, health-care, manufacturing,entertainment, automotive and consumer products. Electronics technology is a keyenabler of all of these contemporary industries and is their critical path to meet the

This caneasily be accomplished by identifying other fields where manufacturing is applied but notincorporated at a wider scale into our curricula. There are many areas to consider, from energymanufacturing to micro and nanotechnology. Biomedical development and manufacturing is oneof these areas indicating great opportunities and future

title "engineering technologist" is used by workers who are classified in 17-2000 Engineers and by workers who are classified in 17-3000 Drafters, Engineering Technicians, and Mapping Technicians. The title is more appropriately used to identify educational background rather than occupational duties, and the duties performed by Engineering Technologists vary widely1.”To add to this confusion, “engineering” is by itself a porous discipline where manyengineering graduates go on to non-engineering professions, while others without suchdegrees actually function as engineers.
