【Smart Manufacturing News】Fearless of AI's Rise: Irreplaceable Transformation of STEAM Talent!
Users who consistently follow 3dmart news will notice that we've recently shared more learning resources, whether it's the FormBox online course (Click here for tutorial), the Phrozen Resin 3D Printer (Click here for tutorial), or the FLUX Laser Engraver tutorial (Click here for tutorial). Besides encouraging home learning due to the pandemic, our goal is to bring industrial technology closer to everyday life.
Since the US first promoted "STEAM" education in 2006, it has been in practice for many years. More mature technological development has allowed 3D printing and processing technologies to no longer be limited to the industrial sector. With the development of AI artificial intelligence, the transformation of "STEAM" talent will become key to future competitiveness.
"STEAM" and Modern Technological Development
"STEAM" originated from education reform in the United States. Initially, it only had four elements: "Science," "Technology," "Engineering," and "Math." Later, "Art" was added, making it five main elements. These subjects are integrated with education to cultivate the ability to apply technology and solve problems, which is essential for competitiveness in the future world.

AI Reshapes the Job Market
AI artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly in the past decade. According to global market research firms, the past 40 years of informatization and automation replaced approximately 30% of human labor. In the future, 5G will drive Industry 4.0 to replace up to 90% of human labor. Taking Taiwan's labor force of 11.96 million in October this year and an average labor participation rate of 60% as an example, a conservative estimate indicates that approximately 2.15 million people will be affected, which is nearly 5 times the current unemployment rate. This also highlights the importance of irreplaceable integrated talent.(Ford Motor Company began cultivating interdisciplinary talent in the early stages of 3D printing development and extended it to their production lines.

To acquire interdisciplinary and integrated competitiveness, " STEAM " has received increasing attention from enterprises, universities, and vocational training centers in recent years, leading to the emergence of concepts such as "slash youth" and "diverse applications." As industrial technology becomes more widespread and the era of makers arrives, the transformation of STEAM talent is no longer just a popular science toy for elementary school students but a comprehensive plan from educational policy to career development.
