What will future engineers need to have?
— Press release —
The engineering industry is evolving. It has changed a lot over the last ten years and become a diverse and broader area of study with a wide range of branches and specializations.
The career prospects in this field are immense. Engineers work in a variety of sectors including automotive, packaging, chemicals, food and drink as well as renewable energy and other industries.
The demands on engineering grow as important innovations are taking place in many sectors – from energy to medicine and even transportation. Engineers will play a key role in reinventing these industries, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. Multi-thinking and multi-skilled ones are most needed. In modern times, an automotive engineer, for example, is often expected to have knowledge of mechanical, electrical and electronic systems, as well as software design, and engineering for safety. As vehicle systems come to rely more and more on electronics and connectivity, the level of multidisciplinary knowledge an automotive engineer requires increases. Besides, engineering jobs will inevitably start to demand more knowledge and experience of VR, AI and robotics.
While the world needs people to design and develop new ways to respond to environmental issues, an aging population, manufacturing, and our growing need for new, sustainable infrastructure, it also needs people to create the software that helps those things function. Every industry is increasing their dependence on technology, and the demand for software engineering has been increasing for years.
Here are some fast-growing engineering sectors:
- Software engineering jobs
2. Aerospace engineering jobs
3. Civil engineering jobs
4. Environmental engineering
5. Biomedical engineering
6. Computer engineering
7. Electrical engineering
8. Plastic engineering
The variety of engineering jobs is impressive. These positions won't just offer a good salary, they also offer a chance to develop the innovations that make that world a better place.
