‘AI is not replacing engineers - it is redefining them’

Artificial intelligence is transforming engineering education, prompting institutions to rethink traditional teaching models and align with the demands of a technology-driven world. Prof. Harish Reddy Gantla emphasizes that AI is redefining the role of engineers, rather than replacing them, and that students must develop a balanced skill set combining technical expertise with cognitive abilities.
Artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of engineering education. Institutions are integrating AI into diverse fields of study, introducing specialized programs like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. These programs focus on building a strong foundation in AI concepts and preparing students to solve complex industry problems. Classrooms are no longer limited to lectures and textbooks, with students encouraged to explore online platforms and work on live projects. By 2030, AI is expected to be embedded in most devices and systems, making adaptability and continuous learning essential for engineering graduates. AI will not replace engineers but redefine their roles, with students needing to develop a balanced skill set combining technical expertise with cognitive abilities.
