FUTURE SKILLS FOR ENGINEERS
What technological developments will change the role of an engineer in the next 5 10 years? Artificial intelligence Expansion of available information (accurate or otherwise) On-shoring Sustainability CCUS need for multi-discipline thinking Battery sustainability Data Science & Analytics Net Zero Cloud Optimization Digital twins Hydrogen Additive manufacturing Energy Systems Cobotics Robotics IoT Bioprinting Mechatronics Autonomous Control Tissue Engineering Lab on a chip AR/VR/MR/XR 2
Which engineering roles will become more important in the future? Roles that bridge the gap between traditional engineering roles and the new AI-centred roles Systems Integration Process engineers and mechanical engineers to develop/use digital twins Cyber Security Maintenance Engineering (Bio)medical Engineering Licensing Engineering (CAT A & B) NDT, QA/QC, HSSE Additive manufacturing engineers Roles related to sustainability, LCA, green technologies Nuclear Professionals Electric Vehicle roles 3
Which engineering roles will become less important in the future? (replaced by AI) (replaced by emerging technology) Analog Program / project management Conventional Combustion roles Traditional Data gathering & Analysis Traditional manufacturing 4
What skills gaps do you see emerging? (5 10 years) Machine Learning Electronics IT skills that enable correct use of AI Precision Engineering Software Customization & Development basic skills that all engineers need: o Creativity o Resilience o Collaborative working o Effective Communication o Project Management o Professional practices o Specific technical skills Energy Systems Hydrogen (Green, Blue, Gery etc. ) & Gas Utilization 5
What are the sustainability priorities in your industry in the short term (<5 yrs) Use less energy Reduction of waste Sustainable fuels Reuse of materials Waste Management (Battery, Metals, Plastics etc.) Energy Security Biosourced materials Re-engineering of polymers Reduction of environmental impact Entrepreneurship Useful to Societies & Communities 7
What are the sustainability priorities in your industry in the longer term (>5 yrs) Alternatives to Plastics & Corrosive Elements Energy Access Waste-to-Wealth Energy Transition Decomissioning Waste-to-Energy 8
Skills needed for sustainability Understanding of life cycle analysis Understanding environmental data Technical skills associated with new sustainable technologies CCS New green fuels The move to electric mobility 9
