#232 Future of Technology and Engineering

Many organisations undervalue the role young employees can play, one in five UK employers outright refuse to hire from the 22-25 age group. However young employees can offer a different way of looking at problems and with an emerging skill gap across STEM industries, employing and training young people gives companies a chance to mould the next generation. Despite studies showing the next generation’s fear over AI and technology making their jobs obsolete, many entering engineering are excited by the opportunity it could provide. In this episode of Engineering Matters, we venture into the future of engineering through the eyes of young engineers. Join us as we gain unique insights from Abdulrahman AlNakkazah, Lily Harndon, Albert Adel, each offering their perspectives on the exciting challenges and opportunities that await the next generation of engineers. With technology changing the role of young engineers in the workplace we also hear from a civil engineering professor over how academic institutes are reacting to the changing demands placed on engineers.
