With technology evolving rapidly — from AI to renewable energy — how can engineering education keep pace to ensure graduates are ready for the jobs of the future?
Engineering graduates often face a gap between what they learn in university and the skills required in modern workplaces. Industries are advancing fast, but education can lag behind, leaving young engineers underprepared for new technologies and roles.
I’d like to hear from fellow engineers:
-
How can curricula better integrate emerging technologies without losing core engineering fundamentals?
-
Could industry partnerships, internships, or live projects help bridge this gap?
-
Are online courses, micro-credentials, or digital training programs effective ways to prepare students?
-
How can graduates best showcase their adaptability and readiness for new challenges?
Your thoughts and experiences on preparing engineers for the rapidly changing workplace would be highly valuable.
