Tanya de Hoog discusses why structural engineers need to adapt and evolve to remain relevant as technological advances continue to develop.
The engineering sector appears to be becoming more and more disparate, with holism becoming harder to obtain. This paper proposes a potential solution to this through the upskilling of engineering professionals to become ‘specialist generalist technical lead’ designers within a renewed and simplified core design team.
Five leading structural engineers explain why we need to take our professional responsibility seriously and commit to doing things better, starting today.
