Instead, we show howIoT can be used to bring the outlier students into the system. IoT can also be used toprovide substantial educational assistance. IoT creates opportunities for vicarious andvirtual inclusion. IoT is the tool, and now is the time to build an education system for allstudents, not just those that fit academia’s cost-efficient model of mass education. Thepaper includes cases where IoT is being successfully used to democratize education.Keywords: Education 4.0, Industry 4.0, IoT, Remote learning, Inclusive education.1.

The impact of engineering mentorshipprograms on students, such as related to their perceptions and self-efficacy, is nebulous [2];impacts are undoubtedly influenced by confounding factors, including the participants involved,contexts, techniques, and mentoring procedures applied. Educators have implemented a plethoraof engineering student mentorship program structures, ranging from formal to semi-formal andapplying various techniques, such as experiential based workshops [3] and one-on-one mentoring[4]. These diverse mentorship approaches are being applied to and studied for the full age

During workforce development meetings across multiplecommunity and technical colleges in Louisiana, there was a discussion to determine whatadditional program offerings are needed; both on the credit side (i.e., degrees), and the non-creditside (i.e., industry-based certificates). To address this need, and through collaboration with amanufacturing-extension program, a set of Competitiveness Review© (CR) assessments8 wereperformed. Figure 1 describes the assessment process.

Workforce1. Introduction Throughout the world, there is an agreement that there is a gap between the skillslearned in school and those needed in the workforce [1]. Engineering curricula mustcontinuously change to prepare students for industry needs [2], and universities should alignwhat they teach to the most demanded skills required in the workforce [3]. However, this isnot always the case, and empirical evidence has shown a gap between the undergraduateengineering program's skills taught and industry needs [4-6]. Several studies have revealedthe gap in water-related undergraduate programs [7], and such a gap can stand in the way ofmeeting the needs of the water and wastewater industry [8].

The mostsignificant shortcomings were practical experiences, a general system perspective, anunderstanding of engineering standards and codes, problem solving skills, critical thinkingskills, oral and written communication skills, and project management skills.

In their research on interpersonal relationships ofpersonnel, Methot, Podsakoff, Lepine, and Christian [1] found that workplace and organizationalfriendships have been shown to have positive impacts on some individuals’ happiness andeffectiveness. A number of employees who reported having friends within their organization, forexample, appeared to benefit from higher levels of productivity alongside job satisfaction andretention [1]. However, these friendships may often blur boundaries between objectiveprofessionalism and subjective favoritism. Even within a seemingly cohesive organization,subgroups may emerge when
