Historically, students have pursued engineering solely as a means to securing high-quality jobs. What they do not understand is that being mere engineers in the current times may not be relevant unless students and freshers upgrade their skills and adopt new technologies. We live in the times of AI which will automate many facets of engineering. While domain knowledge is necessary to understand the details of the work at hand, one must be in the process of continuous learning and upgrading skills to keep up with market demand. A paradigm shift is occurring in specialized roles, and despite AI automation, human input is still crucial. A practical approach to complex problem-solving should be taught to students in order for them to be competitive in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
