A designer skilled in generative design

Profession will appear after 2025
01
Construction

The designer or engineer enters design goals, i.e. a description of the result to be obtained in generative design software. In addition to the design objective, the specialist defines design parameters such as performance, spatial requirements, materials, manufacturing methods and cost constraints. The software explores all possible solutions, quickly creating alternatives. The program tests every solution and learns from every iteration what works and what doesn't. The specialist chooses a project option that best suits the taste of the customer, available resources, etc.

The novelty of the profession: Using the power of Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing, generative design allows engineers to create thousands of designs. The content of the designer's work is changing, the engineer no longer has to create and evaluate the initial models of the construction object, now he needs to choose the best design based on informal criteria.

Key competencies:

  • Higher education in any of the areas: "construction", "architecture", "design", "engineering", "computer-aided design", etc.
  • Knowledge and ability to work in specialized software (for example, Revit).

Over-professional skills

The ability of a specialist to combine (summarize) particular facts into a big picture, build hierarchical levels for understanding various situations (economic, political, business) and making long-term decisions. An important quality is the understanding of how a change in one element will subsequently affect other elements.

The importance of systemic thinking is increasing due to the acceleration of changes in life, the need to learn new professions, as well as the growing interpenetration of various areas in each other (social networks, economics, politics, production, etc.).

Specialists with systemic thinking skills will be able to solve such problems, make strong long-term decisions in the context of rapid changes in the economy, diagnose large technical and social systems, make decisions on eliminating the root causes that hinder development, and this skill will allow for the integration of various project teams into a single working organism.

Intersectoral communication consists in understanding technologies, processes and the market situation in various related and non-adjacent industries, cross-functional and cross-disciplinary interaction. More and more advanced products are created at the junction of different industries and specialists need the ability to understand several areas of knowledge at the same time. This competency allows you to learn faster, take the best from different fields, and through this mutual enrichment, ensure development within your field. Those with such competence can create unexpected, unique, breakthrough solutions.

Project and process management

This area includes a variety of skills related to the development and adjustment of artificial intelligence systems, the adjustment and tuning of robots, the development of programs for controlling production processes and individual machines.

Automation and robotization rapidly penetrate into all areas, including manufacturing. It is expected that in 15-20 years, machines will replace a person in most routine operations that do not require creative skills. Therefore, the need for specialists with these skills will grow in all sectors. It is these specialists who will have to ensure the massive arrival of machines in all sectors of the economy.

Automation of production will eliminate the human factor and increase labor productivity where routine operations are present that do not require special training and creative skills. Specialists will be in demand not in the main production, but in the field of servicing and tuning machines, robots and systems that make algorithmic decisions.

Lean manufacturing is an enterprise management concept based on the constant search, reduction or elimination of losses. Losses are understood to mean those actions, processes or operations that consume resources (human, temporary, material, etc.), but do not add value to the end or intermediate consumer.

Lean manufacturing changes the approach to managing the enterprise’s efficiency from extensive (working more and faster) to intensive (working more efficiently, that is, doing only what is necessary and not doing what can be done without).

Professionals with lean competencies will be able to increase the efficiency of departments or enterprises as a whole without attracting large investments. The relevance of lean management methods is growing because traditional management methods have already reached their peak, further business development will increasingly focus on intensive development and lean improvement methods.

Environmental thinking is focused on achieving harmony between business and the environment. A business cycle is already developing from creation to disposal of a product, and not just its sale and consumption. Environmental thinking puts health and sustainable development at the top of the list.

The importance of environmental thinking is increasing due to the fact that industrial development has reached the limit and all further models of sustainable growth of society, the economy and business should be built on the basis of mutual interests with nature, the ecosystem, its maintenance and development.

Specialists with environmental thinking skills will be able to solve such problems as: respect for resources, achieving zero emission of harmful substances into the environment, waste management and use of secondary resources
