The scope of engineering has evolved considerably in the last 100 years. While civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering still has a crucial role to play, we are witnessing the transformation of our world driven by digital technologies. This transformation is creating a surge in demand for software developers, data scientists, and cybersecurity professionals, driving a need for innovative and unique solutions.
While India has largely been a follower rather than a leader in engineering, digital technologies allow us a real chance to leapfrog to the leader position. This requires a roadmap for building a best-in-class engineering workforce. To achieve this, we need to invest heavily in skills and training for students to equip them with the technical knowledge and concepts needed to succeed in this new landscape.
This includes building a strong foundation in programming languages like Python, Javascript, Node, and React, as well as understanding data structures, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Full stack development using frameworks like Mern and Springboot are also becoming increasingly important. Automation and security are critical considerations in modern engineering, and Selenium is a valuable tool for QA automation.
By embracing these ideas and investing in the right training, India can become a global leader in digital engineering, creating a wealth of jobs and opportunities for future generations.
