Studies have demonstrated that adopting Industry 4.0is an intricate undertaking, and numerous organizations in various nations are encounteringchallenges due to diverse obstacles [5]. Hence, it is imperative to recognize the obstacles andtheir interconnections that might facilitate the development of a mitigation plan, ultimatelyresulting in a more seamless integration of Industry 4.0 [6]. A limited number of scholars havedone scientific studies on the obstacles that hinder the implementation of Industry 4.0technology. Prior studies have relied on empirical data collected

Students would understand the high level of expectation for effort in engineering classes, while simultaneously being encouraged to solve a difficult problem. • The project should be open-ended. Students would use the engineering design process to create a unique design, with no pre-defined solutions. • The project should be hands-on. Students would utilize the maker space at the UMHB Engineering Design Building to gain hands-on experience with hardware and software. • The project should be competitive.
