The vitality of the innovation economy in the United States depends on the availability of a highly educated technical workforce. A key component of this workforce consists of engineers, engineering technicians, and engineering technologists. The purpose of this briefing is to shed light on the relatively underappreciated roles and contributions of engineering technicians and technologists. Unlike the much better-known field of engineering, engineering technology (ET) is unfamiliar to most Americans and goes unmentioned in most policy discussions about the US technical workforce. The presentations are based on a recent report by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Committee on Engineering Technology Education in the United States. In conducting its work, the committee commissioned a review of federal education and occupational data, fielded two surveys—one of ET educators and the other of employers of ET talent—held an information-gathering workshop, and conducted a literature review.
