Engineering myths: Busted!

Technological advancements are changing the world around us at a lightning fast pace. From the electric car to the hyper-loop , technology influences everything. The construction industry however is still under - served by technology. It is a major contributor to the GDP of our country and needs to employ new technology for upgrading processes and increasing productivity. Breakthrough technologies with the ability to increase efficiency of the construction industry have hit the market in the last few years, priming the industry for disruption. We are going to shed some light on three major technologies that will shape the future of construction. Acquiring knowledge of such emerging tech and learning more through research can be very helpful for aspiring civil engineers studying in the best engineering colleges in Maharashtra . Robotics Construction sites are often uncontrolled, open environments, which makes it challenging to incorporate robotics here. However,...

Technology is rapidly becoming smarter with developments in artificial intelligence (AI). Although these advancements bring with them unimaginable benefits to mankind, there is also a lot of fear around what the future holds. The loss of control and destruction wrongly associated with AI is the root of this fear. The truth is, AI holds immense potential to make our lives better manifold. As an idea, AI holds the potential to be both fascinating and terrifying. This is caused by two factors: Sci-Fi movies that create the perception of a machine-dominated future being the end of mankind. E.g “I, Robot” The fear of losing jobs to machines Both these fears are based in the common fear of the unknown. They arise due to a massive lack of information about what AI really is.  A similar wave of fear due to ignorance surrounded the invention of the internet. Look at all the wonderful things it’s made possible today. What this tells us is that this kind of pro...
