It's an exhilarating experience to work for an organization that is opening doors to new opportunities. The #DigitalEngineering degree signifies a commitment to staying current and evolving with the times. It demonstrates a forward-thinking approach. What a fantastic opportunity for students to receive a relevant and cutting-edge education, preparing them for future success in an increasingly digital world.

Engineering schools around the world have an important role to play in equipping a new generation of innovators with the skills they need to address global challenges. This will contribute to a sustainable future for both mankind and the planet, while improving graduates’ employability and readiness for the world of work. South African higher education institutions are committed to delivering engineering graduates of distinction. An important element of curricular reform is the integration of technical and non-technical competencies (often called soft skills or generic competencies) into engineering curricula. This drive for change was captured in a study commissioned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2018, which highlighted key institutions that are implementing innovative strategies in their engineering curriculum.

TIME TO RETHINK PROFESSIONAL TRAINING A thought: Many universities and colleges are adding new departments (and majors and schools); however, maybe we should consider eliminating (possibly all) undergraduate departments and majors to create truly transdisciplinary leaders for the future where the goal of education is not silos but wholism. Subtraction could be the concept we need (see my colleague Leidy Klotz's book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less for more on how deleting things can lead us to exciting new places). An editorial we wrote a few years ago makes this point: Traditional programs don't provide the diversity of learning experiences that develop the kind of engineers society and employers actually need. GIVE STUDENTS THE GIFT OF A LIBERAL EDUCATION, AND THEY CAN DETERMINE THEIR PATHS FOR THEMSELVES.

One of the highs in my professional and educational journey. This semester I have enrolled as a cross-registrant student at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in addition to my graduate studies at Harvard University. Trying to harness the collective knowledge and resources of these esteemed institutions, further broadening my skill set and increasing exposure. At MIT, I've enrolled in two amazing courses. Firstly, I'm diving into the world of 'System Dynamics for Business and Policy,' a field born right here at MIT. This course offers a unique perspective and a powerful set of conceptual tools to comprehend the structure and dynamics of complex systems. Through rigorous modeling methods, developing formal computer simulations and systems thinking instead of improving single variables, ultimately designing more effective policies and organizations—which is an important skill for tackling multifaceted challenges. Secondly, I'm delving into the realm of 'Strategy,' exploring the intricacies of decision-making and long-term planning in organizations. With direct mentorship from the leading experts in the field and the authors of the books that we studied at the undergraduate level in Pakistan, I hope to deepen my understanding of the principles of strategy and their application to real-world scenarios. This opportunity to study at MIT Sloan is something I couldn't have imagined hardly a year ago. I hope I can get the most out of this opportunity and create a real impact in the field. I am at a loss for words when expressing my gratitude to all the Teachers, Mentors, Professors, Institutions, and most importantly the vision inculcated by my parents that have made this journey possible. The learning continues…. #MIT #Harvard #Education #SystemDynamics #Strategy #Opportunity #LearningJourney

🎓 Reflecting on My Unforgettable Experience at Oxford University! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share a pivotal moment in my journey as a mechanical engineer – my experience at Oxford University.

If you’re a fresh graduate or early career applicant, enrolling in online courses can be a great way to learn in-demand courses. Here are some;

Who says that engineers aren't creative? Unfortunately, many engineer students do! And that is not a good thing for students, industry, schools, or society. During a keynote for the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the importance of developing better questions in research, Prof. Sarah Zappe of the University of Pennsylvania shares research on how creativity, entrepreneurship, and leadership apply to engineering and why they are critical to the formation of contemporary engineers. She also teaches watercolor classes among baby goats! Read her chapter from “International Handbook of Engineering Education Research” (pp.433-456) https://lnkd.in/dZPA-ThG #translationalscience #ideationprocess #teamscience #innovation #engineering #creativity

Studying at Stanford University along with work can be quite challenging due to several factors: 1. Academic Rigor 2. Demanding Coursework Stanford is known for its highly competitive and rigorous academic programs, especially in fields like computer science, engineering, and business. Courses are designed to push students to their intellectual limits. - Many students are involved in research, which demands a high level of discipline, creativity, and time management. Stanford has a reputation for producing pioneering work in multiple disciplines, which sets high expectations for students. Professors at Stanford are often leaders in their fields, which means they expect a lot from their students and assignments. Engaging with top gurus can be intellectually stimulating but also very demanding. Managing these along with demanding academic work requires excellent time management skills. We are often encouraged to think big, innovate, and create, which can sometimes add pressure to achieve beyond just academic success. Really enjoyed learning and studying at Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Stanford University Department of Management Science & Engineering for my course.
