Updating Resumes: Titles & Positions

My question is when it comes to updating your resume how do you handle a position/title change with the same company at the same job?
Would you create two separate entities on your resume?
My case: I was originally hired on as a Mechanical Engineer working on the Satellite/transmission link side of the house. However my boss recently informed me that because of my interest in IT & iniative I've shown at getting certified I'm being laterally promoted to Computer Systems Analyst. Slightly higher pay bracket and I'll be covering some network/system admin work in addition to my regular SATCOM duties.
I'll like some input from other people who've been in this kind of situation and how you approached it on your resume.

Same here.
Keep them seperate.
Agreed. I consolidated positions on my resume but in every case, I was performing the same functions in the new position as the older ones, just with a couple of extra responsibilities. Sounds like yours are 2 distinct jobs so you would benefit if the experience of each was highlighted separately.

But then that also depends on what other experience that you have on your resume. If the next job down is working at McDonalds, then keeping the two month job isn't a bad idea.
This is a very fine point mr gross alcohol for a user name

My format is like this:
XX/XX - Present Title A (XX/XX - Present)
Duties here
Title B (XX/XX - XX/XX)
Duties here
***Format is messed up in here, but I think you get the idea***
Please let me know if this is a wrong format so I can change it.
My resume is only two pages. I could easily make it three pages but do not want to. Was told to keep it two pages only. *shrugs*
Some how I keep it to three careefully aloted pages...
On the other hand... I would normally use an ending position, not the begining position. Then again I am cramming 19 years on mine... so that may just be my consolidation. It is what most of my peers seems to do out here though.

I keep mine at two pages not including cover letter.
