An engineering technologist is a professional trained in certain aspects of the development and implementation of a respective area of technology. Engineering technology education is even more applied and less theoretical than engineering education, though in a broad sense both have a focus on practical application.
Engineering and Technology is a broad set of disciplines that deal with everything connected to the design, manufacture, and maintenance of infrastructure, devices, tools, and information systems used by people on a daily basis.
A professional engineering technologist's job responsibilities require technical and practical knowledge. They can apply their abilities in using technical equipment, selling technical products, serving as manufacturers' technical representatives, or supervising varied construction projects and manufacturing processes.
