Enterprises understand this and hence want fresh talent to enter the system with basic knowledge of AI and its underlying technologies.
Machine Learning – Machine learning is a subset of AI. It is concerned with feeding data into machines, enabling them to decode patterns and further learn from it to automate processes and systems. Since, this technology deals with data and its analysis, engineering students with the knowledge of concepts such as statistics and probability are given preference.
Programming and Software Development – At the core of any tech product is programming. The core languages for programming are Java, python, etc. A good understanding of these coding languages is a must for engineers as they would have to eventually develop software for the web or mobile.
Systematic and Analytical Reasoning – In order to make a successful career in today’s digitally driven business world, engineers need to develop and enhance their problem solving skills through systematic and analytical thinking.
Communication skills – Effective communication skills remain a must for graduates of any field to become successful professionals.
