Electromechanical Engineering Technologists

Little or no change in employment is expected for electromechanical technicians (a career category that includes EETs) from 2018 to 2028. This prediction is attributed to the decline in manufacturing industries in the United States, where many technologists are employed. However, technologists who work in the computer systems design service sector will continue to have employment opportunities as demand will remain steady for the continual integration of computer and electronics systems, particularly automation systems. Employment in this sector is expected to increase by more than 24 percent through 2018. There will also be job opportunities for electromechanical technologists as growth continues in the technologies that are being included in cars and portable and household electronics systems such as computers, cell phones, and global positioning systems.
