Education institutes are increasingly conscious of creating engineering programs that meet the requirements of combining practical elements along with a strong theoretical component. The engineering industry is expected to grow and change in a myriad ways, with the first being the digitisation of the sector. The industry and construction space in Australia has started to adopt many digital methods such as sensors, AR, VR drone usage and 3D scanning to name a few. These applications have the capacity to transform how projects are built and the technicalities involved. Furthermore, the construction industry is expected to adopt more features of the cloud. Another important facet is adopting a positive mindset towards incorporating sustainability into architecture and infrastructure.
