As engineering challenges become more interconnected, the need for multidisciplinary skills is growing rapidly.

From artificial intelligence and digital transformation to climate change and the transition to net zero, today’s most pressing issues span multiple sectors and disciplines. As a result, engineers increasingly need to combine specialist expertise with a broader understanding of adjacent fields.

This panel session will explore how engineering skills requirements are evolving and why multidisciplinary capabilities are becoming essential for both individuals and organisations. Bringing together engineers, industry leaders and skills experts from across the UK engineering landscape, the discussion will examine the changing nature of engineering work and identify the skills most in demand.

Panellists will discuss the value of a multidisciplinary workforce, including its role in improving collaboration, driving innovation and enabling organisations to solve complex challenges more effectively. The session will also consider how engineers can develop the broader skill sets needed for future career success, and how employers can support the development of multidisciplinary talent through training, professional development and workplace culture.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how engineering teams and individuals can build the capabilities needed to thrive in an increasingly connected and technology-driven world.
