The difficulty of scaling-up from a successful effort with a small group of students to a larger student body. 8. The university system favors and rewards research, and is designed to train students for graduate schools and research, which overshadows the work to develop quantities of I4.0 skilled workers who will work in industry after an undergraduate degree. 9. University research is often given priority over workforce preparation. 10. Community colleges have to balance college-prep track against skilled-trades tracks, while the need for I4.0

GroupsWhen asked about the main impacts of their grassroots engineering practices, all the threeextension centers described in this work (Soltec, ITCP/Unicamp, Pegadas, and Alter-Nativas)agree that students’ formation is (much) better served than the supported groups themselves. Thisusually does not mean that there was no impact or change on the assisted groups’ reality. Instead,it seems to indicate that what might last longer to these groups or their members are not the(socio-)technical solutions co-constructed, but things like the abilities they developed throughoutthe supporting process.Actually, it is not unusual for a GE team to support an enterprise, either a waste pickercooperative, a company recovered by workers or a Landless Rural Worker

In courses withauthentic design projects, particularly those that use a human-centered design paradigm, multipleopportunities for authentic listening practice are available.Ultimately, like many professional skills, listening is perhaps best taught in a cohesive approachthat is integrated through the curriculum. A single mention of listening in one course isinsufficient. When programs are integrating communication skills, teamwork/leadership, andethics/societal impacts as required learning outcomes for ABET, listening can be explicitlyidentified to students as sub-elements among these outcomes. For example, students couldpractice their listening skills in association with oral presentations by their peers. Traditionalstudent

For instance, there are manycompetitions, challenges and opportunities for the demonstration of design skills, but most areoptional or extracurricular, catching only a portion of engineering graduates in a somewhat adhoc manner and at variable or even random places and times.

For creating, students were given the opportunityto generate 3D models based on textbook examples, indicate types of stresses and displaydeformed shapes.
