This study was designed to identify and to evaluate technological changes affecting the careers of the members of the Alberta Society of Engineering Technologists (ASET) at present and up to 1991. Efforts were directed toward identifying those variables affecting employment and recommending courses of action to help technologists remain current. Interviews were conducted and questionnaires were distributed for the purposes of obtaining ideas on the state of technology and on trends that might affect engineering technology. These findings and other contents of the report include: (1) a review of the literature on technology in Canada including a three-page list of references; (2) interviews (discussing the perspectives of individuals from corporations, governmental organizations, and educational institutions on selected issues related to Canada's high technology industry); (3) a technologist's perspective (reporting questionnaire results from ASET members); (4) summary (listing the major findings and highlighting implications for technologists and institutions); and (5) recommendations (providing comments to ASET members and postsecondary institutions and identifying issues for further analysis). Appendices consist of the study objectives, the persons interviewed and the interview outline, the questionnaire, and an explanation of the Center for Advanced Technology Education (CATE). (ML)
