variations in definition for digital twins. Technically speaking, digital twins arecomprised of three parts: the physical system, the digital replication of the system, and continuousdata flow between the two. Many newer papers today are straying from this definition. Digitaltwins can be confused with other similar technologies, such as digital models and digital shadows.Digital models have both the physical and digital versions of a system but lack any flow ofinformation. Digital shadows have an exchange of information between the two systems, but theinformation only flows in one direction- generally from the physical system to the virtual system.[29] An example of this would be an automated sensor that takes measurements of the outsideenvironment

With the cy-bernetic revolution, however, most of the problems to be solved by working engineers will benovel problems, often created by new technology. Certainly, professors created knowledge pre-viously in their mind, yet they did not transmit to the students the insights and judgment proc-esses producing the knowledge about why the selected information was actually included in thecourse, and the reasons that other information was excluded.
