History of Engineering Technology
• Need increasing for technicians and technologists
• Specialized and scientific – Engineers
• Practical and less specialized - Technicians
Introduction to Engineering Technology, 7th ed. By Pond and Rankinen 9
The Industrial Team
• Today’s industries – two types
• Manufacturing – production of goods, such as clothing and steel (“blue collar”)
• Service – such as professional (lawyers) and technical work (computer programmers) (“white collar”)
• Transition is taking place from goods production to the provision of services – post-industrial society
