Future advancements in Electronics and Instrumentation technologies will revolutionise the world and the time has come to establish domain expertise universities to train students in a particular technology, said Managing Director of Efftronics Systems Private Limited D. Ramakrishna.
Addressing students of RVR & JC College of Engineering at the 47th Engineers Day celebrations, Mr. Ramakrishna said that future belonged to revolutionary technologies and asked the students to think innovatively.
“Smart technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) will create millions of jobs in the coming 20 years but are there any courses linked to IoT? I am afraid that there are few courses. Students assume ECE is the sole gateway to jobs giving lesser importance to other courses, and we are going to lose a golden opportunity if students are not trained in future technologies,” Mr. Ramakrishna said.
