The future seems uncertain. But Edex and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham are trying to make sense of the post-lockdown new normal. This series tries to answer the questions that have kept you up the most With the lockdown nearing its end and the world limping back to normal what will happen to the engineering sector? Will the Humanities vs Engineering debate still rage on or will it be just a tech-driven world? Dr Neelam Upadhyay, Assistant Professor, Department of Sciences, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Dr P Shankar, Principal of the Amrita School of Engineering help us make sense of the future that awaits us. Excerpts from the conversation.
The Coronavirus has not just caused a health crisis but an economic crisis as well. With the job market being hit severely, do you think the courses students choose will also change?
Dr P Shankar: We have already become a technology-driven world, but there's going to be a greater emphasis on technology in the future. We are already discussing artificial intelligence, computer science vs computer engineering salary, automation and big data. This will help ensure that the industry is more resilient to such pandemics and disasters in future.
