In a LinkedIn article, Chuck Brooks argues technology convergence (AI, quantum, robotics, cybersecurity) is dissolving boundaries between disciplines and careers. Students need not become engineers but must be fluent in AI, understand it beyond mere usage, and treat cybersecurity as a universal professional skill, with hybrid capabilities increasingly valued by employers. He calls for interdisciplinary, experiential curricula, citing Georgetown University as a model.
