what is recognized to be the important skill set and to whatextent should an engineering degree prepare a graduate in their practice. Developers ofcurriculums are challenged because of the continuing requirement to base these upon anengineering-science foundation while at the same time needing to integrate in technology drivenadvances particularly those due to the advent of Industry 4.0. This revolution has at its core theautomation of information, be it authoring, retrieval and management, analysis or dissemination.In this new era of industrialization, it is even more imperative that engineering programsunderstand how their curriculums are leading to the appropriate skills development and how theoutcomes of these efforts are being

How should South Korea adjust or transform their education system to prepare people forIndustry 4.0 and beyond?Policymakers agree that a fourth global industrial revolution [2], [24] is underway and that thistransformation affects many manufacturing industry sectors. However, the breadth of thesechanges is difficult to predict in a fast-moving environment in which stakeholders may not agreeon

In terms of leadership roles for4IR, they should be responsible in empowering their team members for decision making processand information sharing through open-mind that would help boost their confidence and develophigh interpersonal skills in the team [36]. From an engineering education perspective, Jeganathanet al. [31] proposed a framework for Industry 4.0 considering current technological changes inorder to meet future demands of engineers and considered interpersonal skills as an importantattribute embedded in the curriculum. In addition, Perez-Perez et al. [32]developed a trainingtool which would help develop interpersonal skills as part of teamwork

elements of electronic product design and production for an OPD.Electronic products and systems are ubiquitous. From an electric pencil sharpener to the firecontrol system on a Trident nuclear powered submarine, these products utilize electricalcomponents packaged in a mechanical assembly. During product or system operation, there isinput from a human, robot or another product or system, causing a desirable output from theproduct or system to a human, robot or another product or system. The input data, both analogand/or digital, are processed, and the resultant output is some form of work – electrical,mechanical or both (the path integral of a force over a distance) – e.g., a useful pencil point iscreated, or a missile is fired at a target.

Mexico (UNM) Online has been offering an MS degree in Computer Engineering with a specialization in IoT [6]: o The program is consisted of 31 credits of 8 week long courses. The curriculum has good IoT content relevant to computer engineering. However, only one course is labeled with IoT in its title. o “Students will learn how to develop the software and hardware systems that allow devices to collect and exchange data on a massive scale”. o Students who successfully complete the curriculum will be prepared for entry into the computer industry or related fields of study such as autonomous and electric vehicles, smart grid, situational awareness for

. After assigning a project during the first week, each team of 2-3 teachersapplies the design methodology to come up with an optimal solution. Each team then selectsmaterials, fabricates components to solve the problem at the end of 5th week. Results are sharedamong teachers from this and other RET programs on campus. All teachers will spend five weeks working on specific projects; they will spend the lastweek to integrate research experiences into his/her laboratory or classroom activities with helpfrom the Outreach officers. One or two teachers – one in-service and one pre-service teacher --would be selected to present his/her research work at the annual STEM-4-Innovation Conferencehosted by TAMU in College Station in February.

interesting research topics andindustrial applications so that students can make meaningful connections with the subject matter.Such integration requires an alignment between participants’ professional background, areas ofteaching, and the topic of their research. Strong alignment is the key to cultivating student interestin STEM and manufacturing. To meet these challenges, we have initiated the following changes in the 2019 program: 1.Recruit teachers whose area of teaching is directly related to engineering applications especiallyin the manufacturing sector; 2. Allow teachers to design a smaller curriculum unit so it is easier tofit in their teaching assignment; 3. Encourage teachers to inspire intrinsic motivation amongstudents to learn the

Here, computer simulation can be integrated to design andvisualize the stochastic and complex system. This paper uses the advantage of simulation todescribe a series classroom activity using SIMIO software, which are deployed in industrialsystems simulation course in the University of Texas at El Paso. Besides, the authors show a nobleapproach to demonstrate the simulation using the virtual reality (VR) technology in Unityplatform. Integration of these simulation based classroom activities provide three-fold benefit tostudents’ learning process; (1) it provides an effective

Virtual Reality for Green Energy Manufacturing Education AbstractThis paper presents the project-based learning result of green energy manufacturing integratedwith virtual reality (VR). This work provides an innovative solution for optimizing learningeffectiveness and improving educational outcomes through the development of virtual models thatcan be used and integrated into the existing renewable energy laboratory. The goal is to apply theseprototypical simulators to train undergraduate engineering students and professionals in windenergy education; and to offer experiential learning opportunities in 3D modeling, simulation, andvisualization. The students were given multiple projects
