described, the shift from Industry 3.0 toIndustry 4.0, has been slow. As the world becomes more deeply connected, as the internet ofthings becomes more commonplace in all parts of our lives, as technologies like machinelearning and cyber physical systems become accessible to even small businesses, the potentialsolutions to the current and future grand challenges change in ways we cannot yet predict andwill require language to describe what we have not yet invented.This paper is a call to conversation, reflection, and action. Not only is the world for which weeducate engineers changing at an increasingly rapid pace, both internal and external pressures arechanging the structure and business model of higher education.

Inquiry: A motivationSince 2006, our team has been involved in technological literacy curriculum working with non-engineering students to develop understanding of Technological and Engineering literacy [9, 10].Using reflective practice [11,12] in the technological classes enable us to track students’development and cognitive engagement better than regular assignments, quizzes, and tests. Overthe year, we have been seeing deeper appreciation and understanding shown by our technologicalliteracy students than in a few of our engineering classes. Starting in 2013, we have started tobring about a similar indepth engagement of reflective practices in our freshman engineeringclasses. In 2015 we started a more in depth approach to the reflective practice

Thus it is of national importance that the population of engineers available to the labor force is continually replenished and updated to thrive amid changes in technology and the global marketplace.The increased focus on economics comes at a

Itconnects the ideas in coherent conceptual ways rather than competency approach which mostlyemphasises calculus, physics, and important definitions and equations that are dominant in thirdyear electromagnetism. The EM for non-electrical engineers (non-calculus based) deals withalmost all aspects of EM, including conceptual and practical issues of the field without anyrequired calculus. The class covers basic classical electromagnetism, moves to the later part ofthe 19th century and the early 20th century.

They take this class for technicalrequirements of their program. The class is most popular for students in Computer Engineering.It is designed for students who are interested in electromagnetism (EM) but are not necessarilyinspired by calculus-based version. While the students see and discuss the relevant mathematicaltools and concepts, they are not required to show the mastery on that, unless they decide to havetheir final project in area that require calculus depth.

Makerspaces are open to the public as community design studios that cultivatecreative and technology-based projects alike. Fabrication labs and makerspaces serve ascollective organizations that help facilitate design and prototyping for individuals that may nothave access to that equipment or material outside of that physical location.

in Portugal [10] and in the US[11].A similar approach was used also at Link¨oping University during a few years, until about tenyears ago. At that time, students in the five-year integrated Master’s program in MechanicalEngineering started their education with a broad introductory engineering course. This coursecovered a lot of different subjects as for example design, production technology, written and oralcommunication and ecological sustainability. The course unfortunately gained a bad reputationamong both students and teachers for being too vague, to lack clear focus and objectives, and forbad integration between the subjects. This ultimately led to a discontinuation of the course.Since then, there has been a quite compact resistance
