: Agile Methods Coupled with Project Based Learning to Train Mechanical Engineers in the Era of Industry 4.0AbstractAs the Industry 4.0 revolution reshapes manufacturing, design, and engineering processes, therole of mechanical engineers is expanding beyond traditional boundaries. Since mechanicalsystems are increasingly interconnected with digital technologies, training the next-generationmechanical engineers in Internet-of Things (IoT) programming and software engineeringmethodology is critical for meeting industry demands. However, these critical skills are oftenmissing in traditional mechanical engineering curriculum. To address this challenge, we havemodernized our curriculum by integrating IoT technologies and software

Withsupport from curriculum designers and educational leaders, elementary teachers can enhancestudents’ STEM learning by integrating basic engineering vocabulary and explaining whatengineers do in developmentally appropriate ways. As prior studies suggest, elementary school isa critical time for developing students’ interests [10], making it an ideal time to introduceengineering as a subject and a future career pathway.

Over the past decade, several studieshave introduced diverse methods for measuring this complexity. For instance, Roland et al.

Asstudents are already using these tools in their academic work at a higher rate than we expect [1],taking a proactive and forward-thinking approach to integrating GenAI into engineeringeducation is becoming increasingly important. Such an approach will not only equip studentswith the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs but also encourage them to explore itslimitations and ethical and professional implications.In this case study, the authors explore the integration of two GenAI-based writing assignmentsinto a senior-level design course.

For example, in the impact talks students learned how to evaluate the ethics of engineering choices by considering the position of power different stakeholders have in a project and how the outcome could affect them.
