‘Why smart cities and
Engineers are a perfect fit’ is a imprecise discussion but it is absolutely listening
carefully on the development of urban cities. Place is not considered as modern
by itself, people together make it happen and it is only possible through
technological innovation and advancement. Technology is not based on any
particular line of action; it is an overall part of urbanization which we see
from distance. We finds the advancement of technology in sustainable real
estate, infrastructure, and market viability, communication etc. It is a place
where we find that the lifestyle of people is enhanced through collective
efforts of different technologies. This drive needs operators to shape up the
technologies making space for engineers of different field.
Civil Engineers
develops advance infrastructure supporting modern life.
We need our cities to be smarter which brings a
concept Smart cities optimize the use of
technology in the design & operation of infrastructure and buildings in
such a way which meets the current and future needs of their citizens. To be
truly smart they also necessitate deliberation of governance &growth, urban
development and infrastructure, the environment & natural resources,
society and community.
To develop new smart cities and to
transform our cities into smart cities the engineers in particular are stepping
up as leaders.
Civil Engineers are working to
harness the potential of latest technologies and data for our urban
infrastructure, which is among the most complex system in the world. They
provide sustainable, resilient and advanced means of transportation system,
green building, better water management system and better waste management
system. This not only develop physical infrastructure but also develop
institutional & social infrastructure that enable our societies to function
To support them Computer and electronic &
communication help in creating future cities that are digital, build and
operate cities ICT landscape across application and infrastructure like IOT(
internet of things), e-payment-market, The latest communication devices etc. which is leveraging next generation technologies. They create a platform for
conveyance of different city services, leverage big data analytics to manage
city performance and proactive crisis management.
Mechanical Engineers are developing fuel
efficient vehicles, harnessing non conventional energy resources for operating
different machinery operations to optimize consumption of fuel and stepping
towards the green environment. They play major role for having the industry
automation, medical equipment automation and public transport faster and
efficient.
Electrical engineers developing new renewable
source of energy to meet ever increasing power demands. They also develop
methods of effective power transmission with minimum losses which is more
economical and safer. They also work on developing micro chips to micro sensors
which are helping in making our households, institution efficient and safer.
