Institute for the Future of Education Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico School of Engineering and Sciences Tecnologico de Monterrey, MexicoAbstractWith rapid advances in Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies, there is a growing need for a structuredapproach to continuing engineering education that supports lifelong learning and aligns withevolving industry demands. This paper presents an implementation proposal for a novelframework that integrates knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) taxonomies, predictive analytics,and best practices in curriculum development. Designed to address the unique needs of theInformation and Communications Technology (INFOCOMM) workforce, which faces

) practices, COIL emphasizes mutual learning throughcarefully designed collaborative tasks, providing students with an authentic internationalexperience without requiring physical mobility [2]. This method aligns seamlessly with thedemands of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, allowing engineering students to approach complex,multidisciplinary challenges from a global perspective [3].Intercultural competencies are regarded as vital components for academic achievement, personalgrowth towards becoming a global citizen, and relevance in the labor market [4]. The COILmethodology aims to cultivate digital and intercultural competencies as an integral component ofthe academic curriculum. Typically, COIL projects are characterized by a shared

continuouslearning. Lifelong learning is particularly crucial in this context as engineers must regularly updatetheir technical and non-technical competencies to navigate the evolving demands of their field [3,4]. Through lifelong learning, engineers can be better prepared to establish and sustain theiroccupational paths. By integrating lifelong learning into an engineer's career, engineers will beable to effectively tackle the complexities of modern engineering and actively contribute toinnovation and problem-solving at their workplace. This is because lifelong learning will enableengineers to adapt to new challenges, embrace emerging technologies, and stay competitive inthe workforce [5]. By cultivating a culture of continuous learning, engineers

signature approach to course design.●​ A conceptual “big picture” of the course helps orient students, with diverse prior knowledge and experiences, to a shared framework that includes conceptual and practical components.●​ The pre-, during-, and post-class activities are much like in the previous case, providing students with an organized structure and predictable way to navigate the course.●​ Interspersed mini-Python programming activities are included in pre-class work, so students can get individual skill practice before incrementally progressing to combined-skills practice – during class and on homework assignments. In addition, we prioritized integrating the Python environment, Jupyter Notebooks, in our LMS, to focus students
