An engineer basically design and create products that feeds consumer’s needs and wants. As Professor Ramakrishna mentioned, it is undeniable that ultimately an engineer’s field encompasses every sector there are in today’s world. The true definition of an engineer of the past and the present differ significantly due to the ever changing needs of society today. In designing solutions to myriad of problems, engineers are equipped with analytical skills nurtured in their course of education. Nowadays, engineers learn how to develop a clearly structured and efficiently detailed plan designed to function under a focus-differentiated strategy to fit the needs of the society. It is now wonderful to have plentiful of engineers nurtured, groomed and were put to task to develop each stages of the product clearly and eliminate any weakness right from the start. Hence, making engineers the building blocks of new and improved product development. An engineer’s training paint the picture of a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly as it ignites us to motivate ourselves to change into something better with integrated knowledge and skills which makes an excellent platform. In other words to gain a competitive advantage ideally, the engineering field and training of analytical skills helps to expand not only in the targeted market of product development but also in other market sectors worldwide. From that point and on the possibilities are practically unlimited. Especially in today’s volatile financial markets, engineers would be expected to perform exceptionally in every sector to tide the economy. A good key to note from the article by Tim Brown in Harvard Business Review Design Thinking, the increasing complexity of products would now require products to have functional differentiation and emotional value creation which engineers in this era could work on to achieve a holistic approach to designing solutions.

1st line, I think the words "feeds"does not match up with the word "products" which is in plural form.
ReplyDelete4th line, I think it is unnecessary to have the"there are".
