The labor market is changing and creating new conditions and specializations. Through our HEI curricula often anyone interested can find an ideal starting point to gain knowledge of sought after specialties in the present and tomorrow’s labor market.
However, in order to be able to achieve this will have to be done through correct orientation To build step by step his journey and make a proper decision -making decision to the final career goal he has set up with the completion of his studies.
In this sense, it is advisable to see that specific departments of HEIs are the basis for sought after and modern professions. Let some of them quote:
1) Data Scientists (Data Scientists): Whether we are referring to experts who deal with the ETL (EXTRACT | LOAD | Transform) or DAD (Discover | Disill) track, the data is the “gold coin” of our time. With innumerable applications from marketing and administration to energy management and sports, Data Scientists – Engineers – Architects – Administrators and Statistics, are scientists and professionals who will soon be needed in dozens of sectors and even medium -sized businesses in order to implement either a combination of either it & business, either through the usiness and the business. Data Quality & Data Integration to export utilities for research and other purposes. Indicative curricula and departments that can lead to this industry? IMMY, Informatics, Applied Informatics, Administrative Science & Technology, Statistics.
2) Actuaries: Having mathematics and statistics as a tool either workers in the insurance industry, or workers as actuarial consultants or by jumping to the financial industry, the actors analyze and contribute to the management of financial risks of all forms. With a relatively limited number of specialized executives practicing this profession, in many countries it is classified as an ideal career choice. The academic background that will help anyone interested in the profession of actress is indicative of departments such as Statistics (University of Piraeus – Economics of Athens), Departments of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and more.
3) Biomedical Engineers: Biomedical technology is an interdisciplinary industry with utmost importance and contribution to health promotion and health care. According to earlier EUCOMED data, “the European Medical Product Industry produces annual sales of 95 billion euros and invests around 7.5 billion euros in research and development. 500,000 executives work in more than 20,000 medical technology companies, with 80% of which are small and medium -sized enterprises that produce specialized products and innovations for the local and global markets. ” The starting point of tomorrow’s specialized scientist may be departments of electrical and engineers, medical, biology, applied mathematical and natural sciences as well as other sciences such as: Physics which, in combination with the appropriate postgraduate specialization (eg, the University of Patras in Biomedical Engineering), will cultivate the necessary supplies and knowledge for tomorrow’s labor market.
4) Agricultural Engineers: The rapid growth of the global population, coupled with the growing need for agricultural- and not only- production, makes it imperative more than ever the utilization of engineering in the primary sector and especially in agricultural systems. The great bet of sustainability in agriculture, the most effective management of agricultural land and the production of better quality products is a challenge for both agricultural engineering and biosynthesis engineering. Therefore, the fruitful application and utilization of technology in agriculture is a springboard for managing and meeting the needs at local and internationally. Graduates of Agricultural Departments, Biosystems and broader geotechnical specialties are the specialized scientists who will be able to staff the agricultural engineering industry after acquiring innovative and practical knowledge and techniques.
5) Biotechnologists: Primary production, health, environmental protection are just some of the areas where biotechnology science can find application. Scientists with a cognitive background related to genetics, molecular and synthetic biology, bioinformatics and a host of other combination sciences are aimed at a sector where increasing trends in research and investment are recorded worldwide. In Hellenic HEIs, Studies in Departments such as Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry & Biotechnology, Informatics with Biomedical Applications etc. They are an ideal starting point for tomorrow’s biotechnologist.
6) 3D Specialists & Designers: The 3D and VR piece brings the three -dimensional imaging and the virtual reality closer than ever to the average man. With applications starting from gaming and reaching culture and medicine, these rising areas combined with 3D printing and Advanced Manufacturing come to deliver us products and services with ease, accuracy and capabilities that we could not imagine in the past. From the “3D printing” of a sports shoe and the construction of a house within a few hours to the 3D depiction of the Plato Academy, 3D specialists and industrial designers, they are the spearhead for yet another innovative field of the 4th Industrial Revolution by combining CAD/CAM Manufacturing) and new technologies that we still cannot predict until it can reach. In this industry, it is self -evident to engage in computer science, IT, IT engineers, product and systems design engineers, cultural technology & communication but without the graduate of other scientists who, having specialized in these technological applications, are able to offer.
7) Robotics engineers – AI: Applied mechanics and automation are utilized and can be maximized in areas such as transport, industrial production, medicine and more. For example, in robotic surgery, the surgeon is now in front of a surgical console where the surgical field sees on a screen, and performs the procedure by moving special levers. Such a robotic system offers a three -dimensional and accurate image to the surgeon, the commandments given by the surgeon are digitally transferred to the articulated surgical arms of a robot, which practically perform surgery. This is a Robotic Medical Technology application. Reasonably, the required specialization that a mechanical engineer will need. Electrician or automatic will be directly related to advanced production, automation and robotics systems with the field that will apply the robotics.
8) Solutions Engineers: Having a primarily technical background with highly developed soft skills as well as skills and knowledge related to customer service and/or sales, this professional specialization has to do with a developer or mechanical software that often works as a chief technology officer (CTO). A specialized executive who can on the one hand provide a solution to a client’s technological problems and in addition to understand and identify a customer’s needs. So in this sense we can have e.g. Sales Solutions Engineers and Technical Solutions Engineers. Thus, undergraduate studies in science or computer engineering, information systems, statistics-matters specializing in data analysis and a strong background in PHP and/or Haskell, Python, C ++, Java, SQL are a good starting point for claiming such a position.
9) UX Designers: Design based on a positive user experience is not simply limited to a functional site or application. It’s much more than that. Trends show that in order to have a positive UX (user experience) in a product or service should be preceded by data such as research, testing, business analysis, project management even psychology before we reach the end result that can be from a site with on -line booking system until e.g. But a smartphone that can practically be the main occupation of tomorrow’s Ui Designer (User Interface) and less than UX Designer. This expert aims to maximize the user’s positive experience and therefore should compose a fairly interdisciplinary background. In this light, studies in departments such as the Administrative Science & Technology or Product & Systems Design Engineering or Departments that cultivate systematic background in project management are directly related to the potential route to UX Design.
10) Material Engineers: The field of science and mechanics of materials is related to anything related to the design, composition and development of materials utilized in a multitude of technological applications and beyond. From biocompatible materials with health applications to nanomials that can be exploited to space, the material engineer has an active role and involvement in areas such as energy, construction, aeronautics, biomedical and more. For this reason, curricula that cultivate knowledge of chemistry & physical materials, computing science of materials and mechanical materials as well as physicochemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry compose the identity of tomorrow’s mechanical materials. In Hellenic SA Indicative departments that can offer relevant curricula relate to the science departments of materials, chemical engineers and more.
Undoubtedly, dynamic professions and modern specialties that fit everyone’s personality, everyone can discover. And this is the bet of every student and graduate. To be able to combine his slopes and interests with a section, with a program and a industry that will fill him as a human being and providing him with employment.
