Figure A1: Age distribution of ET according to job titles
Figure B: Gender distribution of Engineering
Technologists Figure B1: Major engineering disciplines of
Engineering Technologists
and Civil Engineering with 36%, 16.5% and 4%,
respectively as shown in Figure B1.
Figure B2 shows the gender distribution of
respondents accross major engineering disciplines
namely Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical and
other engineering disciplines such as manufacturing,
electronics, telecommunication, etc.
For the male respondents, the highest number
are from Mechanical Engineering (53%), followed
by Electrical (30%), Chemical (6%) and Civil (3%)
and others (9%).
For the female respondents, the highest
number are from the Electrical Engineering (33%),
followed by Chemical (27%), Mechanical (19%),
Civil (7%) and others (15%). From the 1,208 respondents, most of the male
ETs are in the position of engineer (42%), followed
by supervisor/inspector/instructor. Only a handful
of them are working as researchers.
For the female ETs, most of them are employed as
engineers (47%) and only a few of them are employed
in senior management positions (see Figure B3).
Most of the male ETs are in the area of operation,
service and maintenance, followed by manufacturing
and construction area as shown in Figure B4. Similar
pattern applies to the female ETs except that they
are not involved in the construction industry.
Very few ETs irrespective of gender are involved
in the test and evaluation area of engineering
works as shown in Figure B4.
