Abstract
In this #EngShort, we look at preparing future #Manufacturing #Engineers for the global challenges that lay ahead. In late 2020, we joined with #IMechE to discuss what the future manufacturing engineer might possibly look like. What are the key #skills that engineers will need to survive and thrive? To discuss this question and more, we conducted a survey to gauge an understanding of what engineers in the sector think. The survey revealed the need for manufacturing engineers to have multi-disciplinary skills and the role that educators and government play in ensuring their success. What skills do you think future manufacturing engineers will need? Comment below to let us know.
