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
