Smart connected product development is redefining academic curriculum

Thursday, May 27, 2021 10:00 a.m. SGT | 12.00 p.m. AEST

“Smart, connected products require a rethinking of design. At the most basic level, product development shifts from largely mechanical engineering to true engineering” - Harvard Business Review

 

True engineering entails convergence of technologies, domains, and faculties, and rather is at the centre of all product development revolution today.
 

It is therefore incumbent on academia to set the agenda, and define curriculum, which best supports the industry requirements – the rigour of multi-disciplinary thought and flexibility of adapting to and adopting fast changing technology – while meeting strict budgetary norms.
