Engineers Require New Skills as Technology Evolves
The ability to code is increasingly becoming an important skill set for engineers. Unfortunately, many engineering programs have not yet caught up with this change and most don’t require a solid programming curriculum. As a result, engineers tend to leave school proficient in a specialized software and with some scripting knowledge, but with little fundamental understanding of coding.
