My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates

AI copilots are first to take over the PLC ladder logic, test data analysis, and process documentation that new hires handle, but wiring control panels, on-site commissioning, and setting up jigs are hands-on work that stays. Factory automation also adds some work for controls staff, so the decline will not be steep.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
