Engineering competencies expected in the digital working places

Technological advances over the past decade have revolutionized the way we work today. All those changes brought about by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are modifying production structures and systems, sometimes even fundamentally, business models. In recent years, networked production processes have been integrated into devices capable of communicating with each other, and the industrial production sector has had a technological revolution in smart data management. logistics, real-time decision-making. These changes must be followed by the education system and in many other areas, and the relevant requirements should be part of the training output requirements. Competencies that support engineering students' future employability should also be coherently built into the present curricula to further bridge the gap between expected and real competencies.In my research, I have applied qualitative research design - content analysis - to be able to conclude the interviews have been conducted with twenty-two business representatives.
