Engineers have always played a key role in societal development, contributing to and
enabling initiatives that drive economic progress, enhancing social and physical
infrastructures, inspiring the changes that improve quality of life and bringing about a
fundamentaltransformation in the society.
But today, as Industrie 4.0 gains ground, the world is witnessing the development of a few
parallel trends including the rapid emergence of ecological constraints, the advent of an
increasingly multi-polar international order, and rising inequality, ushering in a new era of
globalization13. In this backdrop, the business environment is increasingly characterized by
continuous change and growing complexity. The challenges for companies arise not only
from the need for flexible technical solutions, but also from managing complex sociotechnical systems, and contribute tangibly to the sustainable development of the
economy and the environment.
This implies engineering researchers and graduates with the ability to understand complex
technological processes in the context of social, environmental, economic, and global concerns will play a critical role and will be increasingly sought after in the emerging industrial and business worlds.
In this context, it gets essential to understand the future direction of global engineering
education and identify the defining trends to support positive educational change and build
the next-gen engineering talent in the country.
