Thanks Donald
This will be an interesting visit.
The head of the Electronic Engineering Department at Adelaide University – Professor Cheng-Chew Lim – gave a talk to the EA Retired Engineers group on the 11th November on the challenges for learning and teaching electronics to modern students.
I came out of there glad that I was not about to embark upon an EE career.
Here are ten reasons why (according to Professor Lim)
1. 40% of the jobs that are around today will not even exist in 20 years time
2. Graduates will have twenty jobs during their career
3. 50% of graduates will change jobs every five years
4. Employers want ‘job-ready’ graduates who are globally-aware
5. Industry fears poaching of their graduate engineers if they put too much training into them
6. As a result, there are few graduate training programs available within industry
7. Students today are coming from a diversity of backgrounds and are largely unprepared for university
8. Lectures are no longer for learning – students do that at home via the web – but should use the lecture for deeper understandings
9. The university is working at giving graduates ‘transferable skills’ such as communication, creativity, independence, self-discipline, leadership, enterprising abilities and team work skills
10. 50% of the engineering department’s revenues come from overseas students -
