Rolf Torstendahl
ABSTRACT
This article wants to point out a change in the conditions of engineers and applied scientists around 1990. Before 1990 engineers was a venerated group and those employed as engineers had strong organisations to back them up. After 1990 digital technology came into the limelight, and its master directors (without the title engineer) created a “new technocracy”.
