I don't agree. The word "technician" implies a lot. If the target audience is to be recent/pending high school graduates weighing the options of a job or college, then the longer name may be catchier. This person will have been looking into programs available at the community colleges, and exploiting a parallel in names should be considered. Consider the following Algonquin programs:quadrapiper said:... while a great descriptor for people "in house," might still sound an awful lot like verbal padding - suggesting a low-end job with a shiny title.
... it would be NEET is "system" were dropped from that.quadrapiper said:Naval Electronic & Electromechanical Systems Technician
Chief Gunner said:Well, the discussion on this issue is very interesting. I'd like to clear up a couple of things that may help clarify the situation. First Combat Systems Engineering Technician or any variable there of is not up for consideration. Second, the described trades are not nor have they ever been part of the Naval Ops Branch. Third, the words engineer and engineering are not a copywrite of any of the the P. Eng Associations.
The future vision of the present CSE Branch will be a single entry level trade, that will branch off into five or six occupations. The entry level technician will be responsible for the maintenance of a variety of the simpler equipment from each of the existing trades. They will then feed into 5 - 6 trades. The trades will be responsible for:
a. Internal Communications (includes IT)
b. External Communications
c. Sensors
d. Radar
e. Armament
f. Fire Control
These trades will then feed back into a single supervisor / manager trade at the PO1 Level.
The names they have been given for working puposes are
1. Entry Level = Weapons Engineering Technician
2. a. Weapons Engineering Specialist Internal Communications
b. Weapons Engineering Specialist External Communications
c. Weapons Engineering Specialist Sensors
d. Weapons Engineering Specialist Radar
e. Weapons Engineering Specialist Armament
f. Weapons Engineering Specialist Fire Control
3. Supervisor/ Manager = Weapons Engineering Specialist
I hope this leads to some constructive suggestions.
