Where next for engineering?

RS looks to the future, with the digital transition well underway and multiple challenges facing the sector, including rising energy costs and fractured supply chains.

Engineering has always been about problem solving, and today’s world presents no shortage of problems to solve. But the drive to tackle today’s global issues is changing engineering itself, as technology reshapes collaboration and innovation, accelerates product development and reduces development costs.

How fast will change occur? A survey of manufacturing engineers commissioned by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology found that most expect “major change” over the next five to ten years.

Sometimes the pace of change can be so fast there’s no time to stop and look ahead to what the future of engineering might be like.

Richard Jeffers, Director for Maintenance Solutions at RS, brings together insights from experts who can help engineers navigate the changes ahead: read more.
