In a recent ASME SmartBrief article, “Mechanical Engineers Must Up Their Game”, the author interviewed several members of the mechanical engineering faculty at Purdue and MIT as to what mechanical engineers must do to be in the game by the end of the decade. These are the areas that were identified:
Building Effective Teams
More and more what an engineer needs to be doing will be decided by a team, not a single “boss”. And the members of the team may be half a world away.
AI and Blockchain
AI will have incredible influence on the design of future products, but will they be the right products? And engineers will be creating blocks of information that will be connected seamlessly by a chain structure that includes all the aspects of sound economic growth and success.
An Influential Role
Engineers have always played a vital role in the direction society takes, however, mechanical engineers may have a larger role than what they have in the past.
As the cliche goes, “the only constant in life is change”, and change is happening faster and faster as each day goes by. Being prepared for that rapid change is going to be critical to our future. – Dr. Tom
