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

The CAD system is both the hardware and software components that extract 2D or 3DCAD information. This information is then used to generate the desired Computer NumericalControl (CNC) program for milling, drilling, lathe, and other manufacturing

Frequentlythey apply for admission, fill out financial aid forms, and apply for TAP and Pell grants. Thenthey rush to spend any excess funds that appear in their account. They spend their moneyrecklessly by purchasing designer sneakers and IPods and then have difficulty paying fortransportation to the college. They frequently ask “Why don’t I have any Money?”Managing money can be challenging for adults but is frequently
