 Engineering technicians are trained engineering
professionals who work with engineers and help
TECHNICIAN them with many of their duties. While engineers
use their math and science knowledge to solve
problems and design products, engineering
technicians assist the engineers in collecting
data, designing and performing tests,
assembling equipment and recording test data.
As they gain experience and knowledge, they
take on more engineering duties.
