INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
TECHNOLOGY
• Engineering technology is used to test efficiency, improve design and solve problems
relating to engineering and manufacturing. Engineering Technology is a branch of
engineering education that emphasizes the practical aspects of engineering rather than
abstract concepts or theories. It is a blend of the application of science, engineering
knowledge, and technical skills used in support of engineering activities.
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
• A smart city is a technologically modern urban area that uses different types of
electronic methods, voice activation methods and sensors to collect specific data.
Information gained from that data are used to manage assets, resources and
services efficiently; in return, that data is used to improve the operations across the
city. Consultancy for smart city projects brings together expertise in planning, GIS,
architecture, infrastructure, engineering services, and project management. During
the planning stage the team envisages the priorities of the projects, conducts
meetings with all the stakeholders to discuss our requirements and expectations
from them, and explain our strategy and plan to develop the project.
AUTOMATION, M2M (MACHINE-TO-MACHINE),
AND H2M (HUMAN-TO-MACHINE)
• Through Automation, M2M (Machine-
to-Machine), and H2M (Human-to-
Machine) Automation is one of the
most vital aspects of future
industries. The new generation of
robotics will be easier to program
and easier to use.
ENGINEERING DESIGN WITH AR, VR, AND MR
Innovative engineering companies
increasingly use virtual reality (VR),
augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality
(MR) in engineering design, visualization,
and stakeholder engagement. VR is
immersive and can be used in an office,
whereas AR and MR augments, or adds
to, real-world viewing by overlaying 3D
models or holograms on top of reality.
CYBERSECURITY ENGINEERING AND RISK
MANAGEMENT
While cybersecurity risks within the
construction industry may be growing, they can
be remediated. Implementing training and
prevention techniques with all staff including
those working for contractors or
subcontractors is vital, as is addressing any
issues as soon as they happen. Ultimately, it’s
important to recognize and understand that
cyber risks exist within the construction
industry, and that preventive methods can be
put into place.
