  1. Joos,The ‘Renaissance Engineer’

  2. Outline • Towards a new renaissance? • Three Immense socio-economic, scientific and technological changes • Grand multidisciplinary challenges for engineers and policymakers • 2.‘Renaissance’ engineers and policy makers • 3.Joos as a renaissance engineer

  3. 1.Socio-economic Mega-Changes • See: Econoshock, Geert Noels, Hautekiet • ‘How 6 economic shocks will • fundamentally change your life’ • Towards >9B people in 2050, aging of society • Scarcity of fossil fuels and raw materials • Center of gravity moves east: innovation badly needed • ICT leads to globalisation, challenges security & privacy • Face climate change • Manage financial chaos: towards post-capitalism? Simultaneous Mega shocks…

  4. Lead to Grand Challenges • Double energy, food, water production in 2050 • Reduce the cost of agingand healthcare • Create safe, secure information society respecting privacy • Manage complexity of global systems and networks • Keeping western prosperity in a globalised world… Demanding global system solutions based on advanced technical and societal engineering

  5. Intelligent systems? Energy Mfg. Goods Information +Bio+Nano+Energy Convergence Intelligence Complexity Life Sciences Neuro Science Technology Techno-Science Nano 2. Nature of Science and Technologyis Changing too Qu At Phys.Sc. El M Th 1800 1900 2000 Era Science Scale Macro Micro

  6. 3. And Changes Nature of Industry Computer Chips, DNA, tech at nano-scale Information + Communication (ICT) Bio- Nano- en Neurotech 21 Smart Networked Personalised Services, products Nano medicine New materials Brains Knowledge III IV CenturyTechnologyProduction factor Product 20 Fossil Fuel Energy Machines Electrical Energy Manufacturing Labour Capital I II Mat. Goods Cars, Planes +

  7. Innovation = Converging Technologies Innovation will emerge from merger of techno-science disciplines & social science rather than from individual disciplines e.g. Internet of Things Smart Energy Grids Smart Mobility Mechatronics / Nano mechanics Telemedicine Synthetic biology Nano-medicine Genome based personalized medicine ‘Creativity is connecting things’ Steve Jobs A true renaissance…

  10. Converging Technologies and the Grand Challenges Social Innovation SOCIAL Scientists Tomorrows Engineer Policy Making ICT Nano Bio Neurosc. Long Term Vision Objectives Grand Challenges for a Sustainable society Drive Regulations Stable legislation Education Media Public dialog TECHNO-Literacy Short term growth Shareholders Dogmatic Thinking

  11. Universities Ready for Renaissance?

  12. ‘Renaissance Engineer’ ? • Renaissance = system oriented merging of disciplines in the fast changing biotope of the 21st century… • Engineer oriented towards social innovation = • Innovation driven by the grand societal needs of the 21st century and in an economic- ecologic win-win scenario • Operating in agile, dynamic and globalised company structures

  13. Renaissance Engineer? This one? or that one? Not Really! Individualists Omni scientists Nerds if..then..else...

  14. But Renaissance Engineer is: M/W oriented towards social innovation: Team player, team builder techno nerd With cross-disciplinary communication skills Trained in system thinking (sees the whole) Independentand interpersonal lifelong learning skills Able to cope with diversity and change World citizen (language, culture…) Co-architect of future society From societal vision to customersolutions With sustainable economic value:entrepreneur! An eye for moral and ethical values Willing to participate to the public debate!

  15. Educating Renaissance Engineers • Need for: • “Sociology for future engineers” • “Team based system design” All EE disciplines EE + bioengineers+ biochemists +Ingrid Verbauwhede +Bart De Moor Joos

  16. Joos and Arenberg Doctoral School • Educating Innovation oriented Engineering. Ph.D. s Technical leadership Entrepreneurial thinking • ‘Preparing for a Career in the Innovative Industry of the Future’ • Joos Vandewalle, Hubert Van Belle • and 11 innovation pioneers in industry and R&D

  17. Hence need for: “Technology for future philosophers” But more is needed • Wanted: • Renaissance social scientists & decision makers With technological literacy, capable of: Making objective long term choices for a sustainable society “Democratizing the future”  emocracy! But once again Joos made it happen!

  18. Joos and the Renaissance Humanists Two years ago… In addition:

  19. Joos and Public Dialog

  20. Joos: a Team- and Bridge Builder Circuits Systems IMEC SISTA COSIC DARIUS Connected society Biomedicine Industrial Processes Mechatronics Secure Safe Internet

  21. His Students Pave the Way Worldwide

  22. The Need to Stimulate Engineering Education Demand Supply

  26. My Special Thanks to Joos,A true Renaissance Engineer • For 37 years of friendship and scientific cooperation and joint fun in motivating the young for the art of engineering • For showing us how important the role of math is in designing for a better world • For your constructive and patient way of building bridges between people and organisations • Welcome to the club of emeriti. Time now to enjoy the privileges of age!
