The role of the electronic technician has drastically changed over the years. In fact, electronics technicians have helped to develop and maintain everything from the earliest home electronics up to and including the latest military radio, communication, and surveillance equipment. In short, the role of the electronic technician is one that is constantly shifting to accommodate new and emerging technologies. But what happens when an ideology, like sustainability, gets thrown into the mix?
