Engineering Reimagined: (Re)designing Next-Generation Engineering Curricula for Industry 5.0AbstractThis paper presents a framework for redesigning engineering curricula to meet Industry 5.0demands and describes the reimagining process. While all our engineering programs executedthe process, this paper highlights the redesign of our computer engineering curriculum using theframework for illustrative purposes. The process commences with program faculty examiningthe latest curriculum via a set of guided questions to identify if and how it meets the future needsof industry and the learning approaches of our students, present and future. In the computerengineering case, the program faculty identified that the

IntroductionIt has been said that curiosity leads to creativity [1, 2] and that in pedagogy project-basedlearning [3-5] is an excellent method for generating curiosity. In many undergraduateengineering programs the Capstone Engineering Design courses are realizing “hands-on” projectbased learning. In the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Northeastern University, thisone and a half semester course applies engineering sciences to the design of mechanisms, such asthose that transmit motion or power. Projects are faculty-proposed or, in some cases, student

Several methods to track inventory exist, the most common of which being manualtracking using items such as hand scanners. However, manual input may be more prone to error.Some methods of autonomous tracking currently exist, however these are very large-scale and areexpensive to produce and maintain. This project proposes a low-cost alternative for autonomousinventory tracking with a

In response to declining enrollment, the Nuclear EngineeringDepartment head at RPI initiated a collaborative partnership with a local U.S. Navy trainingfacility. The program, known as the RPI Navy-Malta program enabled enlisted Navy personnelto earn the same Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Engineering offered to on-campusstudents by completing a curriculum designed to accommodate the needs of the target population[3].

To roboticcar projects in academic environment, power supply has always been the main challenge whenbuilding the robot car from components and devices that have low-current flow circuits such asArduino Uno or Mega. Due to a large capacity and the ability to provide stable power in times ofneed, portable chargers are ideal power supply sources for robotic car projects. However, theseportable chargers are usually not designed to provide power for devices that have low-current flowcircuits. The auto-switch off feature in these portable chargers, therefore, caused the power loss

outside of class than was the case. Computer programming is inherently complex and individual learners master material at wildly different paces. To some extent this is shaped by their background with programming. This will be a factor for us to manage going forward, as the course will be populated with both first-year students and upper-level students taking the course as an elective. Our pacing and “chunking” of the material will be designed to keep a consistent level of cognitive load for learners as the course progresses.• Humanistic Context: Two primary changes are required for students to better master the contextual material we are teaching. For one, as noted above, we will teach such content intermittently with
