    “Tech” in the tech sector is really just short for high technology, which itself mostly just means information technology.

    Engineers work on all kinds of technologies, not just information technology.

      There’s lots of things that are ‘high tech’ that aren’t IT, though. Microsystems, nanotech, nanophotonics, high-precision machining, etc.
