Time to decide on the colour of the bike shed!
Armor: the "armor layering" vs "armor honeycombing" skill discussion doesn't take into account hair dressing. As any hair dresser knows, you can reduce the bulk of hairdo by "layering" which means reducing the amount of hair present at lower or higher strata. Thus a hair dresser knows exactly what "armor layering" means: you chop away the bits that are too bulky and don't add to the value of the armor plating job. Outdoor sports people also know about layering: it means that you refine just how much you wear to suit the conditions.
Electronic System: Since this group is the Electronic Warfare set of skills, why not call it "Electronic Warfare"? Rename the "Electronic Warfare" skill to "Target Jamming" since that's the set of modules that it interacts with. I'd like to see "ECM" removed from the places where it is redundant: "ECM Target Jamming" should just be "Target Jamming" or "Electronic Counter Measures".
Engineering: Rename "Energy Grid Upgrades" to "Engineering Upgrades" - power diagnostic systems are energy grid upgrades, but they impact shields.
Production: Consider renaming "Industry" to "Material Efficiency".
Resource Processing: these are a mix of harvesting and processing skills. Perhaps "Resource Extraction" might help, since you do need a mixture of the harvesting and processing skills to operate T2 mining lasers and crystals. Ice Harvesting, Gas Cloud Harvesting, Mining and Astrogeology do not relate to "processing" but they do relate to "extraction".
Scanning: what about "Exploration" since that's the career path that these skills support? The hacking minigame is not scanning, neither is it related to scanning (Astrometrics and Survey skills have no impact on the outcome of a hacking mini-game, other than finding the game in the first place).
Overall, a well thought-out set of changes to the skill tree nomenclature.

I just noticed on SiSi that the Capital Energy Emission Systems skill is unchanged and not consistent with the new naming. Though I have to say I like Energy Emission better, cause energy is what you're actually emitting.
I concur: better names would be "Energy Emission Systems" or "Capacitor Transfer Systems". Since CCP wants to have the name of the skill (and the equipment tree) reflect the attribute of the target that you are impacting, I'd prefer "Capacitor Transfer Systems".
