Automation professionals typically come from the chemical, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering disciplines. Regardless of their backgrounds, similar skills and competencies are required. However, these competencies are evolving in the face of changing technology and automation professionals may find it difficult to move from one industry to another because of different perceptions and the lack of common definitions and expectations.
While the automation profession can be both highly engaging and offers excellent opportunities, technical graduates today tend to be attracted to other, more glamourous-appearing industries. As a result, the automation profession must increase its efforts to reach out to and engage stakeholders in industry, academia, and the public to raise awareness of the importance of automation and the contributions of the profession.
Representatives from the Automation Federation and partner organizations conducted a workshop at the 20th annual ARC Industry Forum in Orlando to highlight recent developments and accomplishments in this area.
These include developing competency models for automation and cyber-security that can be used as tools to develop the next generation of automation and engineering professionals.
The National Consortium for Mission Critical Operations (NCMCO) has developed a curriculum that prepares graduates for employment in a wide range of positions in information technology (IT), operations technology (OT), and maintenance.
