Technology Advances Exponentially
Technology and the engineer are life partners. Engineers earn their bread and butter out of technology. At the same time, the engineering profession, along with the scientists develops technology further. But technology is developing at exponential rates. In simple terms, it means that the rate of advancement is also increasing at an ever-increasing rate!
Are You Keeping Pace?
Where this is good news for the engineering profession, it outlines a challenge also. The engineer, young or old, novice or experienced, must keep in phase. If you know as much technology as you did today, you are surely lagging behind. Very soon, you will be outdated.
Of course, it is not your fault. You are very busy utilizing what you know. Your job does not permit you to go back to the university and earn a fresh degree or diploma. That is virtually out of the question.
So, what is the solution?
Continued Professional Education
The solution is what all professional bodies all over the world are advocating. Continued professional development courses. They bring you up to date in the depth and breadth of technology related to your profession.
