The data were gathered from the classified ads of the Los Angeles Times, Sundayedition [14].The number of jobs in the classified ads was used as an indicator of the job demand in the hightechnology categories: engineering (manufacturing option), manufacturing, production, qualityand management (technical). The jobs were mainly in aerospace/defense and commercialmanufacturing. From the sampling, the job demand was estimated to range from 35-70 newjobs per week over a 6 month period. This translated into 1820-3640 new jobs per year, or12,740-25,480 new jobs from 1998 to 2005, assuming the rate of job creation was the same

Indeed, one of the most importantfeatures of a metatechnological perspective is its emphasis on the complementarity of variouskinds of knowledge. Within this view, an understanding of technology practice may be thoughtof as a puzzle of many pieces, which originate in different expert communities but which are allnecessary for a complete picture.

On the other hand,one might argue that very few people have the ability to assimilate and integrate the breadth ofknowledge required to become a “mechatronics engineer”. If this premise is accepted, thenmechatronics education should be about technical specialization with teamwork skills.Over the past decade, many mechatronics courses and programs have come into existence. Asfar as we can determine, every one of these initiatives has originated in a mechanical engineeringdepartment. This is particularly significant in light of the fact that engineering curricula, in Page
