To ensure a sustainable future, graduates should be knowledgeable in all branches, including Civil and Military Engineering, which will always have problems that graduates will be required to solve. Knowledge of these branches is essential for their careers, as they will be required to solve problems like optimization of power generation, minimization of losses in different electrical/mechanical/civil systems. Data science and Artificial Intelligence can help achieve this, and implementing Machine Learning Codes with the Internet of Things (IoT) can make the system smart.
The best choice for graduates is to take any one branch at the time of graduation, followed by a post-graduation course that teaches AI/ML/DS/IoT. Additionally, pursuing a Ph.D. in a field that applies modern techniques to solve basic engineering problems will ensure a job and a sustainable future.
