India, Sept. 7 -- Are India's universities preparing youth for the economy of 2047?

What has changed is the engineering process and technology.

A single rocket engine test now throws off millions of data points. Satellites transmit telemetry around the clock while generating enormous volumes of Earth observation data. High-fidelity simulations solve flow fields involving hundreds of millions of computational cells. The bottleneck today isn't information. It's turning that information into something usable.

That's the gap artificial intelligence and data science are filling in space engineering. The common framing, though, is off. AI isn't here to replace the aerospace engineer. It does something narrower: it changes how engineers think...
