Puducherry: ‘Students should choose engineering courses to suit the changing technology,’ said Amrita Viswa Vidyapeedam Professor Soundarrajan.
In an evening seminar at the mentoring program ‘Thinamalar’, he spoke about future opportunities in the fields of computer science and IT;
Everyone is using a mobile phone today. 20 years ago there was no mobile phone. Nowadays you cannot use a normal mobile without internet.
Mobile phones now come with ‘apps’ that will be needed in the future. Mobile is your 3rd hand. A mobile phone does half of a human’s work. This is technological development. Now everything can be controlled by sensors.
Businesses are all bringing digital products home via the internet. There is no single role of software engineer in existing companies. There are many roles including software testing and maintenance.
Today everything is data creations. Everything in digital is data points. You need to know the possibilities. You must have good knowledge about IT companies.
You can study any course. Technology keeps changing. Accordingly, you should choose and study engineering related courses.
This is what he said.
