Episode Synopsis
This is another STEM Positive Disruptor - MIA conversation with special guest William Lee, Associate Director at the National University and co-founder of
Almatix.
He is a scientist-engineer, who has a passion for all things to do with STEM education, especially Robotics AI and Machine learning and wants to impart his hunger for all things STEM to young people and others especially in Singapore by promoting STEM Education with longer-term Career Practice for Economic Development, Growth and Sustainability.
In our conversation William talks about the Industrial revolution that started in the late 1700
The Industrial Revolution 1 to 4
The first industrial revolution began in the 18th century in Britain, covering the period between 1760 to 1840: Steam and Water, Power, Mechanization
The second industrial revolution began in the 19th century, around the 1870s: Electrical Power and Mass Production
The third industrial revolution is also known as the ‘Digital Revolution’ or the ‘First computer era.’ It began in the 20th century, around the 1950s to the early 2000s: Automation, Robotics and IT system
Industry 4.0 is the industrial revolution being currently implemented in our modern world. As a development of the Third Industrial Revolution, this era is characterized by the use of communication and smart information technologies in various industries: Smart Factory, AI, IoT, Big Data. Transforming industries, work, and society on a
global scale.
Industrial 5.0 William believes that the fifth Industry revolution to happen will be Machine Intelligence of Human-Robot Collaborative, Human-centric Autonomy is Future-Economy; and may happen sooner that we think.
As more advancements are made in technology, technological innovations are becoming even more rapid day by day and there is a greater need for a better
and more skilled workforce. What is obvious from the 1st industrial revolution
to where we are now today, industrial change is occurring much quicker than in the earlier revolution
So the question is
1. Are we able to meet the demand for technical and engineering skills globally now and in the future
2. Is our education system fit for purpose to supply the right caliber students with the
skills required to fill the jobs that are been created daily
3. Is industry part of the problem to why the skills gap / shortage is not been filled.
William was very candid that unless we get the fundamental's right in our education system, the struggles will continue.
STEM education is important.
The policy makers have to be forward thinking. Industry recruitment process has to be reviewed.
Please listen to our conversation, very powerful and thought provoking.
This platform is to Educate, Raise awareness, Demystify and Change Perception about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and
make it more accessible to the public.
