The Engineering Profession and the Engineer of the 21st Century It is impossible to predict, of course, what the engineering profession will look like one hundred years from now. The intense discussions that are currently taking place among leaders of the profession and educators suggest that innovation will be a central theme. The premise is that skill is a commodity and that routine engineering services will be available from low cost providers that can and will be located anywhere in the world. The engineering education therefore has to add value beyond just teaching skills. That skill is or will become a commodity does, of course, not mean that future engineers do not have to possess skills. Quite the contrary' they will have to be even more technically proficient than those making a living today practicing narrowly defined tasks.
