Advancement Prospects
Electromechanical engineering technologists with several years of successful work experience advance by taking on more complex projects. As they hone their knowledge and skills they may be promoted to supervisor and management roles, responsible for hiring and overseeing employees and handling larger responsibilities. Some advance by getting an advanced degree and becoming an engineer or by pursuing certification in certain specialties. Other ways to advance include teaching in schools, speaking and teaching at professional association conferences and workshops, and writing about the profession for industry-related publications.
