An interesting conference by The Star on the topic of engineering from the edge of disruption.
Digitalization has indeed transformed our daily life experience. Though this topic has been talked about for quite sometime, it was only during the recent MCO – Covid-19 pandemic, the urgency to emerge in ‘digitalization’ happens. It’s either you ‘hop’ in the digitalization-wagon, or being left out.
Disruptive innovations, such as the internet, has as well became the catalyst for digitalization across almost every aspect of our life, including education, specifically engineering education. Not only are students/graduated required to acquire the hard skills (those technical competencies), but also the soft skills (interpersonal skills). One must also be bold – to think out of box or the least consistently redefining the ‘box’, in order to adapt with today’s digitalization agenda.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s – Day 2 agenda.
In the mean time, below are some of today’s snapshots:-
