This 28-page special supplement contains the results of our readership survey conducted during this past summer. We asked you, our readers, which issues are most impacting the electronics ecosystem. Our goal was to determine a baseline on how engineers are continuing to transform with the times amid this era of disruption. The results reveal component allocation and supply chain challenges atop the list, along with staffing and retention difficulties.

In order to bring objective analysis to the results of our survey, EP&T Editor Stephen Law hosted a panel of industry representatives, who shared their thoughts and insights with us. The Industry Report dives deep with commentary from the panelists, supported by statistical results derived from the survey.
