Tony; I'd like to see that article as well. I searched my back issues of PCD&M and I'm missing that issue. Online back issues on go back one year.

Bill, There was an article published in the Printed Circuit Design during January of 1998 under the Designer's Notebook section by Mary Sugden. The article covered functions and competencies. The functions were Drafting, Design and Engineering while the competencies covered PCB Design/Drafter, Junior Printed Circuit Designer, Printed Circuit Designer, Senior Printed Circuit Designer and finally Printed Circuit Design Engineer. The information was gathered through online surveys and the descriptions were created based on feedback from the PCB community. The descriptions were pretty good and maybe you could take a look at these by going back into the magazine archives. If you can not find the info give me a call and I could fax you a copy of the article.

Thanks George... that's good input. I incorporated some of it into the descriptions I have on the website... I'll do some more in a little while when I get a break... I think we need something for the more advanced designer/engineers and Cad librarians too... Perhaps I can borrow some of these ideas and get a little closer to a descent job description page. Thanks again... Best regards, Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer, C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
