Graduates are not screwed if they study engineering: James Dyson in response to Economist article
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox British inventor and billionaire entrepreneur James Dyson, 78, said design and science students will hold up well in the age of artificial intelligence. SINGAPORE - Today's graduates are not doomed if they study engineering, despite a poor job market. This belief has long been held by British inventor James Dyson, 78, who has been thinking of bringing to Singapore his company's degree apprenticeship programme in engineering, where undergraduates earn a salary and pay no fees. 'A country's wealth is established by engineers and scientists,' the British inventor and billionaire entrepreneur told The Straits Times in a rare one-on-one interview on June 30 at the former St James Power Station, now the global headquarters of Dyson , the consumer electronics company he founded. In response to a June 16 article in The Economist titled 'Why today's graduates are screwed' , he said: 'I don't think that applies to engineers and scientists.' Citing the US Bureau of Labour Statistics and employment data in the European Union and Britain, the article said that employers have trimmed jobs in graduate-friendly industries, and that graduates are losing their wage premiums. Mr Dyson is stubbornly optimistic that engineering, design and science students will hold up well, saying that artificial intelligence (AI) can never replace the human brain for creativity. 'AI can pretend to be creative by combining things, but I don't think it can ever truly be creative and do something different and unexpected,' he said. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO During the hour-long interview, he also spoke passionately about original ideas, experimentation and creativity, as well as changes that need to be made to what and how students study. These concepts are key to survival in a world disrupted by AI, experts say. AI will undoubtedly do away with routine jobs as automation has with typists, said Mr Dyson, confronting the topic of layoffs, which have been seen in the past year at tech firms including Dyson, TikTok, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon and Meta. And the bar continues to be raised, as knowledge workers, who were once thought to be safe, are also now at risk of being replaced. Those at risk include paralegals, tutors, writers, graphic designers, software coders and stock traders. Mr Dyson said matter-of-factly: 'Creativity will become harder because you have got to be better than a machine, better than AI, right?' Declining to go into the specifics of Dyson's surprise 2024 global job cuts , he said that organisations have to change with the times. 'The world is changing where things are made, how they are made, how you can move quickly and where the areas of expertise are. You can't go on with the old set-up. You have to adapt to the new set-up. And unfortunately, along the way, that creates different jobs, and some of the old jobs go,' he said. In late 2024, Dyson cut an undisclosed number of jobs in Singapore following a global restructuring move that involved about 1,000 job cuts in Britain. Staff here were reportedly shocked, given that the firm had announced it was stepping up investments in Singapore. Mr Dyson did not want to specify what roles were made redundant, but acknowledged that it is not always possible to reskill staff for new roles. In 2022, Dyson said it would invest $1.5 billion in its Singapore operations over the subsequent four years, and committed to hire more than 250 engineers and scientists across robotics and machine learning. The firm confirmed on June 30 that it is still committed to the plan. In 2023, it recorded a 9 per cent year-on-year increase in profit to £1.4 billion (S$2.4 billion), on a 9 per cent rise in global revenue of £7.1 billion. Despite global headwinds, it also increased its research and development expenses by more than 40 per cent in 2023, bringing total expenses to more than £2 billion since 2021, putting what it preaches into practice. Today, the company still hires some 2,000 employees in Singapore, half of whom are engineers key to the development of its latest PencilVac, which will go on sale here on July 14. The product's patented digital motors are made in Singapore, with one motor rolling off its Jurong manufacturing line every two seconds. These motors power its vacuum cleaners, air purifiers and hair dryers. Dyson had also said in 2023 that by the end of 2025, next-generation batteries would be produced in a new 247,000 sq ft plant located in Tuas . It had called the plant the most significant investment in advanced manufacturing in the company's history. The next-generation batteries would be smaller, lighter, more sustainable and more energy-dense than the ones available today, according to the company. Mr Dyson, who travels to Singapore almost every month from Gloucestershire in the UK, where he lives, did not want to confirm if the battery plant is on track to open. During one of his visits in February, he gave Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong a preview of the PencilVac's motor, the firm's smallest and fastest vacuum motor with a diameter of just 28mm, the size of a 50-cent Singapore coin. Singapore is where Dyson's patented digital motors are made, with one motor rolling off its Jurong manufacturing line every two seconds. ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO 'He was very excited,' said Mr Dyson. 'I can't emphasise more that the ability to put the new, pioneering technology into production is a great skill for a country to have.' Speaking broadly on education, a topic he is highly critical about, he said that some reverse engineering might be necessary to inspire students to study engineering. 'The academic nature of university teaching may suit some people, but it doesn't suit everybody. And when you have gone through it, are you still able to be creative? And the dryness of academic work, where you are just learning a theory all day long for three years, or whatever it is, is that the best way to learn?' Drawing on his experience pioneering a degree apprenticeship programme in the UK, he said: 'Would it be better to do what we are doing with our own university, where people work for three days with the best scientists and engineers in the world, and then have two days of academic teaching where they are inspired to do the academic side of things because they realise they can then answer the questions on the practical side.' Founded in 2017, the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology in the UK runs a four-year engineering programme offering real-world working experience on the site of Dyson's design centre in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The institute initially awarded degrees validated by the University of Warwick. But in 2021, it was given the authority to award its own degrees – a first in Britain, and also possibly in the world. Today, its 168 undergraduate engineers earn a salary and pay no tuition fees to create real products. Dyson has been actively engaging the Singapore authorities for a number of years to do more to inspire students here to be interested in science and engineering designs. It is mulling over several options to intensify these efforts, including bringing to Singapore its degree apprenticeship programme. 'We are looking at it,' he said, adding that 'the model for Singapore might be slightly different' because Dyson has existing internship programmes with local universities. Every year since 2019, up to 50 interns from the four local universities go through Dyson's doors doing stints between three and 12 months, providing a pipeline for its manpower needs. The proportion of people in Singapore taking engineering and science at university is also higher than in the UK, he noted. Born in Norfolk, Mr Dyson spent a year at the Byam Shaw School of Art before reading furniture and interior design at the Royal College of Art. There, he made the switch to industrial design. 'My chief engineer studied engineering and then studied design, and then came to me to practise as a designer engineer. We have quite a few of those. That is a very good combination, right?' he said. 'But we also feel that we can teach design by osmosis.'

‘Never sacrifice performance for aesthetics,' says Sir James Dyson
British inventor and entrepreneur Sir James Dyson's engineering breakthroughs have reshaped consumer technology as we know it today. Best known for creating the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner, Dyson, 78, has built a global company that champions design-driven problem-solving, while his eponymously named foundation aims to support budding inventors and innovators working on physical products. During a recent interaction with Mint on the sidelines of the launch of the company's latest vacuum cleaner, the Dyson PencilVac, in Tokyo, the British inventor offered glimpses into the philosophies that drive him and the company that bears his name. The aesthetics of engineering Dyson has always championed engineering— not as an abstract concept but as a provider of real-world solutions. In previous interviews, he has emphasized the value of hands-on experience and learning by doing, often reiterating that many educational systems stifle creativity by focusing too much on theoretical knowledge and not enough on practical application. But beyond the practicalities of engineering, what role do aesthetics play in Dyson (the company's) design philosophy, with its focus on functionality, practicality, and minimalism? On the table in front of us, Sir James has a bunch of components, contraptions, and motors, which he picks up often to make his points. 'Technology must define a product's shape, but the beauty of its design lies in its simplicity and natural feel," he says, describing his ideal product as one that 'feels like a fruit"—organic yet precise, pleasant to hold while delivering on its function efficiently. According to Don Norman, the cognitive scientist and usability engineer who coined the term 'user experience', 'The hardest part of design... is keeping features out." Dyson's minimalist approach to product design, such as his bladeless fans and bagless vacuum cleaners, reflects this principle. For Dyson—both the individual and the company—design is not merely the visual veneer but a fundamental part of the technology itself. 'The engineering drives the shape," he explains, picking up the cleaner head of a vacuum to demonstrate the principle. The visual appeal of a well-designed product is not a superficial layer added post-engineering, but an honest, outward expression of the technology within. However, he concedes that the dynamic can be reversed for some products, like the PencilVac, the world's slimmest vacuum cleaner birthed by the need for effortless manoeuvrability. This willingness to let a desired form—driven by the intended user experience—dictate the internal engineering challenges the conventional 'form follows function" mantra. Despite this interplay, Dyson is unequivocal about priorities: 'Performance is number one. We never sacrifice performance for aesthetics," he says, an edict that has influenced contemporary product design across the world. 'Every product is designed with a goal in mind. Dyson literally removed unnecessary parts and innovated on what's key to the goal of the product. It's very clear that performance or the 'engine' is at the heart. You focus on one thing, all the other components around it help deliver that core promise – that's what we're trying to do as well," says Sudeep Sahu, Head of Product at Lumio, a new smart TV brand from India. No such thing as fail-safe The legend of Sir James Dyson is inextricably linked to the 5,127 prototypes he famously built over five years before perfecting his first cyclonic, bagless vacuum cleaner, in the late 1970s. The iconic product was born from frustration with his vacuum cleaner losing suction due to a clogged bag, and has become a cornerstone of the Dyson narrative. He recalls the experience almost wryly—not as a tale of hardship, but as an illustration of the inventive process. 'Most of what you do is failure," he notes, emphasizing that every misstep is a clue that nudges you closer to a breakthrough. 'Every engineer, anyone who develops technology, knows that you have a lot of failures. It's an iterative process where you make one change at a time…Eventually, you make it work, but along the road, a lot of failures". His motivation for discussing these struggles is clear: 'I really want to encourage people to be you're an engineer, you have to [accept failure]. Talking about failures makes engineering more accessible to people. Because it's quite a simple don't have to be a genius to do it". This philosophy extends to his views on education. 'I have this theory that we should mark children by how many mistakes they've made, not whether they get the answer right or not," he says, advocating for a system that rewards experimentation and the learning that comes from it. Even anger, he says, grinning, can be a potent fuel for innovation: 'You get angry about how something doesn't work very well. Anger and frustration can be good motivators," he says. The embrace of failure is not merely a personal anecdote for Dyson, it is an operational principle that has shaped his company culture—"run by engineers" who inherently understand this iterative, often frustrating, but ultimately rewarding journey—and his significant investment in engineering education. In 2017, Sir James founded the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology introducing a unique pedagogical approach—students work in a position in Dyson for three days a week and receive a salary as well. This gives them relevant experience of working on real-world engineering projects along with academic rigour. Built-in sustainability Sustainability has often underpinned Dyson's work—perhaps even before it became a corporate imperative. But for him, the focus was never on branding it as an environmental initiative. It was, as he puts it, simply about good engineering. 'Our first vacuum cleaner got rid of the bag. And bags, by the way, are not paper, they're plastic. They're woven polypropylene... a nasty plastic," he says. 'So we got rid of non-biodegradable consumables and the waste of electricity that occurs when the bag fills up and the airflow is blocked. So, we have constant efficiency, not a diminishing efficiency". The move might not have been framed as an environmental initiative at the time, but as a better engineering solution that inherently reduced waste and improved energy efficiency. 'It's just an innate thing that an engineer has to use fewer materials to be more efficient and not to waste energy or materials. So that's what we do. It's just built into us," he says. Dyson's philosophy suggests that by designing for durability and efficiency from the outset, sustainability becomes an outcome of excellent engineering—a fundamental tenet rather than a reactive policy. Imitation is not flattery A fierce advocate of originality, Dyson minces no words about his disdain for imitation. It is no secret that Dyson products spawn cheaper imitations that become popular alternatives in the market. In the past, the company has accused Chinese authorities of turning a blind eye to brands that violate intellectual property rights by imitating successful designs. Apart from the loss of market share and sales due to cheap replicas, the company has also spent millions of pounds pursuing often futile legal cases. Apart from cheap knockoffs, several popular brands like Dreame and Dibea too have put out affordable products 'inspired" by Dyson vacuum cleaners and hair stylers. 'I think it's a pity that people copy products... I think it's morally wrong," he asserts, arguing that copying ultimately 'gives less choice to the consumer" because it leads to 'a lot of lookalike products." Looking ahead, Dyson holds a surprisingly sanguine view on AI. 'We've got to be more creative because artificial intelligence is not really creative," he opined. 'It's rather nice in a way because it puts pressure on us being creative and being different... I think that there's great opportunity for people to be original, to be different and to think differently". He views AI not as a replacement for human ingenuity, but as a catalyst.

How Dyson's ‘Problem-First' Mindset Keeps it Ahead of the Game
By Dean Blake - News Published: 4 June 2025 |Last Updated: 3 June 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 8 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. When you think of innovative companies—I mean truly innovative companies—there are really only a few that spring to mind. Apple, with its reinvention of the consumer electronics space during the Steve Jobs era, and Amazon's shift from redefining how we sell books online to how we sell everything online being two massive examples of what it takes to be considered an innovator in today's markets: and yet, I would say that when it comes to hardware innovation, few brands can stand toe-to-toe with Dyson. Between re-imagining the vacuum cleaner into a new industry standard of bagless, cyclonic devices that run smoother and are easier to operate—with the recent announcement of the PencilVac taking that concept to its natural conclusion: a broom with a vacuum in the brush head—the English-born business has also taken aim at other analogous industries ripe for new ideas: hair dryers and straighteners, air purifiers, and even headphones. What is it that ties all these efforts together? Simply put: it's a focus on problem-solving embedded deep in the DNA of the company. Dyson founder Sir James Dyson working in his studio | Image: Dyson Problems first, solutions second When Sir James Dyson initially invented the business' foundational cyclonic vacuum technology back in 1991, it wasn't out of some great brainwave or realisation that this was the future of consumer vacuums. Rather, it was due to his own personal frustration with the then-industry standard. See, the likes of vacuum technology almost 30 years ago were far less user-friendly. At the time, each vacuum needed a plastic, single-use bag to be attached, which would be filled up with dust and debris as you cleaned and then thrown away—destined for landfill. As an engineer, Dyson had grown frustrated by the need to constantly buy and refit vacuum bags while cleaning his workstation, and realised the need for something better. Remembering his time at a saw mill, and the large cyclonic cleaner used to clean the space as people worked, Dyson set about finding a way to take something absolutely massive (literally industrial in scale) and scale it down for consumer use. 5,126 failed prototypes later, the company and product we know and love today was born. Necessity, they say, is the mother of all invention, and to say this invention revolutionised the vacuum space is an understatement: try and find a vacuum cleaner that requires a bag these days and you'll find it impossible, and it comes down to one thing. Dyson saw a problem, solved it, and sold the solution—and this is still how the company operates today. Sir James Dyson with the Dyson PencilVac, showcasing the motor | Image: Dean Blake/Man of Many ' exactly the same,' Sir James Dyson tells us. 'We're engineers and we want to develop technology and make better products using that technology, and that's exactly what we do today.' It is, in fact, the business' mission statement: a focus on solving the problems that others have ignored with technology and ingenuity. Part of that focus comes from the fact the business has never gone public. Rather than answer to a board of shareholders, Dyson (the company) really only answers to Dyson (the man) and its customers. 'We don't have a CEO that comes in to run the company and then leaves, and then a new CEO comes in and does things differently. It's the same old me with the same philosophy: not to get big or make money, but to make interesting products,' he says. The other key to Dyson's success is in having the space to create a culture of innovation within the company: fundamentally, it's a company-wide mindset that sets the business apart from its competition, Dyson's head of home Tom Moody explains. 'We have lots of creative and inventive people looking for new problems to solve, or creative ways they can apply themselves. I think that's what pushes us forward,' Moody says. ' has to solve a problem. In some places there might be a more clear 'here is what we want, go ahead and engineer it', but that's not the Dyson way. For us, it's more about 'here's what we discovered in our customers' homes', some frustrations they're facing, and giving our engineers the space to explore that. 'That gives them the latitude and license to create.' Dyson PencilVac | Image: Supplied Merging form and function You'd be forgiven for hearing all that and then thinking: well then why aren't Dyson's products over-engineered? In fact, Dyson's products often strike a near-perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality—delivering the performance and features you want from a vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, straightener, or air purification system, but in a package you're happy to showcase to friends and family. This largely comes from the company's focus on keeping all product staff involved in the product design process from the beginning. Moody notes that even at conceptual stages, engineers are often in contact with the brand's innovation department, as well as its design team, in order to ensure the company hits a balance between solving a problem and creating new ones. 'That ensures that we don't get to a stage later in a product's process where we say 'we've engineered a solution, but it's big, bulky, and it'd never be accepted by a customer',' he explains. 'We try to bake it in at an early stage during the design process.' And while it's rare, there are instances of the business putting the cart before the horse a little, and actively dictating the form of a product before the engineers have even had time to conceptualise a solution: case in point, the PencilVac. While Dyson made its name in miniaturising an industrial cyclonic cleaner into something customers could drag around their homes, its next bet is on cramming the concept of a vacuum into a simple tool: a broom. It's something Sir James Dyson has wanted to create for a while, but hadn't been able to crack the size-to-performance barrier: until now. Dyson PencilVac | Image: Supplied How did they do it? By throwing out their vacuum technology almost entirely, and leaning instead on the smaller motors used in the creation of their SuperSonic Hair Dryer products. While it's an upgraded and reinvented version of the V9 motor (now known as the Dyson Hyperdymium motor), it's fundamentally the same bit of tech used in the SuperSonic R, down to the size of the broom handle mimicking the size of the hair dryer exactly to ensure the motor functions as expected: 38 millimetres. No more, no less. 'James had long desired to create something that was in a very, very slim format and the size, 38 millimetres, is obviously very linked specifically to the enabling technology that we have,' Moody explains. 'We spent many years designing the V9 motor to try to get something to fit within that package, and so it's really an extension of that logic. It's something that's ergonomic and comfortable for our customers to use.' Dyson himself prefers it when engineering can dictate the solution, but admits it's sometimes preferable to have a more defined box to invent within. Necessity, again, is the mother of invention. 'Sometimes it's quite a good idea to have the form drive the function, rather than the other way around,' he says. 'With the PencilVac, the shape drove everything else because I wanted it to be like a broom. I wanted it to be very simple and easy to use. You can just grab it and there's no special grip or anything – it's just a completely natural tool. And that shape drove the technology.' Dyson PencilVac | Image: Supplied Keeping The Faith The PencilVac is, in a lot of ways, the final frontier for cleaning tech. It's hard to imagine a smaller vacuum still striking the right balance between usability and capability, but Sir Dyson already has eyes on smaller models: he just needs the tech to catch up. All of that doesn't mean anything if no one buys the products, though. While Dyson has entered a number of new categories, and intends to launch into more, it never bets on products being a huge success out of the gate. 'When you launch a new product you never know that you're going to sell it—I don't know that the PencilVac will sell well,' Dyson explains. 'It's all a risk, but if you stick to the principle that what you're trying to do is solve problems and make something easier to use, even if it's in a new category, you can make headway because you believe what you've done is a genuine improvement. 'You just have to have faith and hope it works.'
