In some cases, a project may be started using a staff member or technician, then handed off to a technologist as the project progresses.[4] The technologist is a specialist in how technologies can be used to meet the goals of the project owner.[4] In Canada, engineers with training from other countries may find themselves working as an engineering technologist.
