"The future of #ChemicalEngineering"

I asked @slidesgpt to create a slide deck on the topic with #AI.

Some might say "pretty generic" again but let me tell you:
At every conference, there are presentations looking at least partially like this.

Let's go through it.

1/15

For a start, it is good that @slidegpt warns you that you should have a critical look at the content.

2/15

If you want to talk about the future, start with the past. Okay.

It also gives you a comment so that you can just make a karaoke session out of it:

"[...] Understanding this history is important for understanding the current state of the field and predicting its future."

Yeah, I probably would use the buzzwords "#nanotechnology" and "#biotechnology" as well if I had to give such a talk.

4/15

Yepp, next buzzwords are "#sustainability", #RenewableEnergy", and "#GreenChemistry".

Not bad.

5/15

21st century, so we have to talk about "#Digitalization", "#DataAnalytics", and "#RemoteMonitoring".

I probably would have mentioned #IoT

To stress the importance: e.g. @BASF_DE's supercomputer "QURIOSITY" is ranked 65 worldwide

6/15

#ArtificialIntelligence as a topic itself can't be left out. "Process Optimization" and "#PredictiveMaintenance", yeah, got to mention it.

I deleted the stock photo on the slide because it was @NotMyRobots and a bit...explicit

7/15

Oh yeah, one of my favorite buzzword as long as I work in science is "Industry 4.0" #Industry40 with #Robotics, #SmartFactory and #Cybersecurity

8/15

I think it is interesting that education and training were put into the slide deck.

Completely true, e.g., Continuing education will be more than ever a key feature in the future.

9/15

#Globalization is not only discussed as an opportunity but also with a critical view.

10/15

Very interesting. It even goes into the political sphere talking about how the "Regulatory Landscape" influences the future of #ChemicalEngineering

11/15

Now in the end we are getting into the soft skill part of Collaboration and Networking.

12/15

The final slide concludes the presentation.

"In conclusion, the future of chemical engineering is bright and full of opportunities. [...]"

Let's hope so.

As a professor of PostDoc you are sometimes asked to give such talks providing an overview on something like "The future of ChemEng".

I could give this talk like it is, cost me 3min time to generate and most people would be okay with it.

14/15

Based on (my) previous work, I could easily use this basic structure, add a couple of slides on more topics and make this a pretty good 30min talk about "The future of #ChemicalEngineering".
