Engineers for a new era

The 21^st century is marked by rapid changes and frequent global crises. To successfully meet these challenges, modern engineers require a different kind of skillset.

In addition to a firm grasp of science and engineering, this new breed of engineer must possess critical thinking, effective communication, and advanced problem-solving skills – as well as the ability to adapt to ever-changing realities. They must be meticulous yet open-minded, focused yet flexible, creative yet well-informed on industry trends and needs.

Future engineers must recognize their role as agents of change, innovators who can harness their knowledge and skill to better their own society and humanity at large. This is a role that requires responsibility, professional ethics, and social engagement.
