ering and engineering technology? Engineering technology is the profession in which a knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences gained by higher education, experience, and practice is devoted primarily to the implementation and extension of existing technology for the benefit of humanity. People who are part of the technology workplace include scientists, engineers, technologists, technicians, and trades people. All these people have specialized educationor training beyond the high school level and often work together as a team. As on any team, the players have different but important roles. Scientists are concerned with advancing our understanding of the laws of nature and our knowledge of scientific principles. Engineers employ the scientific knowledge developed by scientists in planning, designing, and constructing technical devices and systems. The engineer is a developer of technological innovations.
'Engineering technologists work closely with engineers in coordinating people, material, and machinery to achieve the specific goals of a particular project. The engineering technologist is often responsible for design and development'.
