The Future of Data-Driven Engineering discussed at the SONE UK event

London- The Society of Nepalese Engineers in the UK (SONEUK) successfully conducted its seventh talk programme on Tuesday, 19 August 2025. The event featured a presentation titled “Data Visualisation with Power BI in Engineering: The Future of Data-Driven Engineering”, delivered Er. Yatharth Shrestha.

SONEUK extended a special note of appreciation to Er. Shrestha, who works as a project planner at PMPS Consulting Limited.

The presenter, Er. Shrestha, highlighted how Power BI is transforming engineering by enabling clearer data visualisation and smarter decision-making. He explained the integration of Power BI with planning tools such as Primavera and MS Project to simplify complex project data and improve communication with stakeholders. Er. Shrestha concluded that data literacy and tools like Power BI are becoming essential for future engineers to drive better project outcomes.

SONEUK also thanked all participating engineers for their enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and active engagement, which made the event a great success. The session was both informative and engaging, lasting one hour and followed by an interactive Q&A session.

Participants with prior experience in Power BI raised questions about project tracking based on baselines, performance challenges in embedding Python and R scripts, as well as advanced applications of Power BI such as location-based data. Beginners who were keen to learn about Power BI asked questions about other visualisation tools in the market and whether AI could be applied in the coding work required in Power BI.

Chairperson Er. Subodh Timilsina extended heartfelt thanks to Er. Shrestha and encouraged other members to use the platform as an opportunity to share knowledge and take part in meaningful discussions.

SONEUK also expressed gratitude to Er. Sangita Pokhrel for her warm welcome note and continued support.
