with Industry 4.0? What wouldEducation 4.0 look like? Naturally all of these are difficult questions to answer. We explorethese questions critically and in the context of engineering education and discuss pockets of effortsthat are underway in different corners of the education landscape to address these critical questions.IntroductionIndustry 4.0 is the universally used term for the fourth industrial revolution. Researchers haveidentified major technological innovations that brought about huge changes in society, industry,and the economy as industrial revolutions. The first industrial revolution (Industry 1.0) isassociated with the development of the steam engine in the 1780s that led to a remarkable changein people’s mobility and the
resilience, optimization techniques/design automation, and hardware security.Mr. Taylor Steven Wood, Pennsylvania State University, University Park Taylor received his B.S. degree in Physics from Brigham Young University, after which he worked for 5 years as a semiconductor engineer for Micron Technology in Boise, ID, specializing in numerical and computational data analysis. During this time, he also volunteered extensively with the educational arm of the Micron Foundation, bringing inquiry-based STEM outreach lessons to K-12 classrooms throughout the Boise area and serving as a career mentor to high school students interested in pursuing engineering as a career. Taylor’s role at CSATS focused on interfacing with science

Product complexity is increasing due to rapid advancements inengineering and technology, and continued induction of innovative techniques and products. Keyskills required for successful engineering today include the ability to solve complex and open-ended problems, and independent and critical thinking. Critical thinking (CT) can be describedas objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement

A search via the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) PEER systemfound no papers that included kindness in the title, in contrast to compassion and empathy.Similarly, searches of the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) and the International Journalof Engineering (IJEE) found more frequent discussion of empathy and compassion, and verylittle inclusion of kindness.Twenty-nine papers were selected for more detailed exploration based on having a focus onkindness; this included 19 journal manuscripts [17, 18, 20-36], 5 book chapters [15, 37-40], and5 conference/guidebook papers [42-46].

. Students submit their preferences for the available seminars prior to the startof the semester, and many engineering majors register for one offered by School of Engineeringfaculty. Although the courses are designed for non-engineers, they tend to attract a significantnumber of engineers. In order to appeal to all students, there is overlap in teaching some basicengineering to non-engineers, and many opportunities for engineering students to broaden theirunderstanding of engineering and society. Innovations that transcend to everyday use informnon-majors about engineering and technology and can also be used to show engineering majorswhy their course material is important and how it can be used. While many positive changeshave resulted from
alternatives to the use of positivist frameworks that dominate engineering culture [4]. I answer thiscall with my unique critical qualitative and arts-based research project that explores the intersections of race, gender,history, culture, education, and the arts, which is guided by the principles of culturally responsive methodologies [5].The idea for my study arose during my higher education doctoral dissertation proposal research on diversity, equity,and inclusivity (DEI) in engineering education.

The fact that outcomes supportsuch feedback mechanisms and are integral to processes of continual quality improvement arethe basis of ABET’s change to EC-2000 criteria about three decades ago, a system which despitesome relatively minor adjustments—and the tensions caused thereby [13]—are still in placetoday.The View Through PhilosophyFrom the more distant perspective of engineering education philosophy, things are not as simpleas aligning outcomes with societal needs then assessing progress on them. Such an approachworks for certain

With the recentdevelopment in both hardware and software, innovative technology like augmented realitytechnology and its applications are proliferating in various fields.

Researchers have experimentedwith the use of AR in education and found results that AR-enhanced learning and provided apositive impact on teaching [11], [7].The use of software models in the context of a real environment with AR provides a multitude ofopportunities in teaching.

In most curricula, computing is then systematicallyignored for the remainder of the program, resulting in graduates who are weak in computational science.In many institutions, ours included, the freshman computer science course fell victim to cuts caused bypressure to reduce the number of total hours in the curriculum. These outcomes stand at odds with thefeedback from industry that students need more computational knowledge upon graduation [1].There is room for debate as to which computational environment is best for students to learn and whatshould be the nature of computational knowledge taught. The answers vary across disciplines anduniversities, yet faculty generally agree that students need more education in how to use
