The New Trends in Engineering Everyone Needs to Know

Without a doubt, the field of engineering is close to the matters of technology. They connect in
providing numerous breakthroughs along with the life of humans. Of course, there will always be
new trends, discoveries, and breakthroughs with each passing year. So, it is not a new thing to look
into the latest trends in this particular subject for now. All of them will come in handy in many ways,
indeed. So, what are the latest things to know about this particular field in 2022? 

The 6-GHz Wi-Fi Band for Faster Internet Speed

One of the most popular things in engineering at the moment is the 6-GHz band of Wi-Fi. So far, it is
the third spectrum band for the insanely popular technology of Wi-Fi. Of course, it comes with a
boost that differentiates it from the two previous bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It brings a new 1,200
megahertz boost to the previous bands. It will be beneficial in heavy traffic places such as public
hotspots and offices. It is that way because, despite its faster speed, it comes with a shorter range. 

In other words, the new extent of capabilities of this new band will become popular in no time. The
certification for the Wi-Fi 6E has been around since January 2021. At the end of 2021, there will also
be the first appearance of the new 6E routers. So, it is inevitable that in 2022 there will be a plethora
of smartphones with this new Wi-Fi technology. Without a doubt, smartphone enthusiasts will love
this breakthrough in the field of technological engineering. A faster Wi-Fi is around. 

The Automation Tools in Everything

The fundamental idea of automation is not a new thing, indeed. Nevertheless, the development of
engineering in that sector is never-ending. Because of that, there will be new things within that
respective scope in 2022. More importantly, there will also be a significant rise in the
implementation of this technology. Of course, the optimization of automation tools is not only a part
of technology. It requires engineers to develop the most effective tools in supporting the automation
itself. 

So, it is inevitable that there will be some more sophisticated automation tools in 2022 as part of the
engineering breakthroughs. They will be more popular to find in many things, indeed. More
importantly, it also opens up a new field of work for those who are capable of handling and
managing the tools. In many ways, it will be beneficial for a lot of people. It is only a matter of time
before everything is in automatic mode. It helps in making many things more effortless than before. 

The 3-Nanometer Chips for Better Performance

A semiconductor is a pivotal part of many things. As for now, the breakthrough in the engineering of
semiconductors is the 3-nanometer chips. So far, Apple is the one who plans to bring this latest chip
for the upcoming iPhone 14. At the moment, the standard on this matter is the use of 5-nm chips.
Yet, there may be more parties to incorporate the smaller chips for their devices. Of course, it comes
with crucial benefits in terms of the performance of the devices. 

The engineering of smaller semiconductors means higher performance and lower temperature.
Therefore, it is common for older devices such as smartphones to have overheating issues. It is that
way because they are using old chips that are bigger than the standards of today. So, it is reasonable
for Apple to plan to use it for the future iPhone 14. Unfortunately, the Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Co. is not even sure about the supply-chain matter on this item.  

The Metaverse
Inevitably, many people may not know about it just yet. Nevertheless, the so-called metaverse will
become real in no time. Of course, it is a part of the vast engineering field as well. The general idea
of this concept is to merge virtual reality, augmented reality, and actual reality. Regardless of the
intended purpose of realizing this concept, it will be there soon enough. More importantly,
numerous tech companies are joining the bandwagon already after Facebook turned to Meta.

The latest one to join the club is the government of Seoul. It plans to develop a specific metaverse
platform at the end of 2022. The Metaverse 120 Center will be the first official project of the
government of Seoul on this subject. It plans to provide cultural events and public services for those
who need them. Of course, intensive engineering projects are in it for the upcoming plan of the
government in creating a digital representation of Deoksu Palace in 2026 at most. 

The 433-qubit Processor by IBM for General Purpose

Following the rising popularity of automation, IBM takes a giant leap in producing a new 433-qubit
processor. It is one of the necessary steps to take in reaching the milestone of engineering a 1,000-
qubit processor in the future. Without a doubt, it is not a cup of tea for everyone. Nevertheless, it is
an important aspect in the industry and business fields. This latest release from IBM with the name
of Condor will be the largest quantum processor for general purposes. 

Previously, D-Wave Systems already had a 5,000-qubit computer in 2020. Nevertheless, it specialized
in machines to optimize problem-solving matters. Meanwhile, the one that comes from the
engineering of IBM hits the general-purpose segment. It means that the so-called Condor will be
usable for more things in the future. Believe it or not, it comes after the previous version of only a
127-qubit processor from IBM. It is interesting to see the next step of IBM on this particular subject.
