six individual skillmodules covering skills such as dependability, responsibility, independence, persistence,integrity, and ethics. The main goal is to create multiple opportunities to teach and reinforcesoft skills within the regular technical curriculum in the high schools. This paper discussesthe integration of the soft skills modules into the technical curriculum developed viaexamples, and outlines its potential uses in this engineering department’s curriculumincluding its manufacturing engineering program. The paper concludes with a discussion ofthe implementation of this project and provides some preliminary feedback from theparticipating high schools and reflections of the authors. It also includes future workopportunities such as

ofSTEM education. Moreover, it explores various dimensions of AM education, includinginnovative laboratories equipped with advanced 3D printers, remote laboratories to enable accessfrom distant locations, curriculum development encompassing on-ground, online, and hybridprograms. Furthermore, this study examines AM software tools and simulations, industrycertifications, and hardware and equipment used in educational settings. The paper also delvesinto educational pathways, collaborations between academia and industry, workforce demands,and the ethical and societal aspects of AM education, focusing on sustainability and equity.Overall, this study offers insights into the diverse and evolving landscape of AM education,emphasizing adaptability

ethical considerations. The findings suggest that thoughtful incorporation of bothsustainability and automation boosts productivity and economic benefits and leads toenvironmentally and socially responsible manufacturing. This paper is intended for academicsand researchers interested in the future directions of sustainable manufacturing in the era ofIndustry 4.0.IntroductionIndustry 4.0 signifies a substantial revolution in manufacturing, where cutting-edge technologymaximizes efficiency while reducing resource usage. Industry 4.0 is a German initiativeintegrating production with information technology [1]. The contemporary industrial revolutionutilizes sophisticated digital technologies, for example, artificial intelligence (AI), big

. Fromconceptualizing environmentally friendly product designs and optimizing production processes for minimalenvironmental impact, to using industry 4.0 technology such as IIoT, digital cloud computation, and smartsensors, it is the range of sustainability principals’ integration that holds the key to reshaping the future ofmanufacturing education curriculum [3] and [4].This research work studies the technical intersection of sustainability and manufacturing engineeringeducation to exploring the significance of incorporating sustainability principles, practices, methodologies,and ethics into an independent empirical study research project. This approach equips the next generationof engineers with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate complexities and

and fine-tuning were carried out to ensure the functionality and reliabilityof the system. Finally, in the sixth week of the term, the culmination of the project was reached,successfully achieving the objectives and delivering a complete and operational system.Societal, Environmental, and Ethical ImpactAt the start of the project, the aim was to provide a practical learning environment that simulates anautomated process in a collaborative work cell. The intended goal is to provide students with anintuitive look at what sorts of systems would be present in an automated production process, aswell as insights on how such systems can be applied for small-scale and artisan productioncompanies that wish to introduce automation into their process
