: Agile Methods Coupled with Project Based Learning to Train Mechanical Engineers in the Era of Industry 4.0AbstractAs the Industry 4.0 revolution reshapes manufacturing, design, and engineering processes, therole of mechanical engineers is expanding beyond traditional boundaries. Since mechanicalsystems are increasingly interconnected with digital technologies, training the next-generationmechanical engineers in Internet-of Things (IoT) programming and software engineeringmethodology is critical for meeting industry demands. However, these critical skills are oftenmissing in traditional mechanical engineering curriculum. To address this challenge, we havemodernized our curriculum by integrating IoT technologies and software

undergraduate core for the University of Houston (and elsewhere) hadrequired 12 hours of English. However, in 1998 the Coordinating Board for Higher Education inTexas mandated a “transferable core” among all public colleges and universities in the state andessentially forced all colleges to reduce their core curriculum to the Board’s “minimum.”(Otherwise, if a college requiring a 40-hour core, accepts a transfer student (who has completedthe core at his former school) from a college requiring only a 30-hour core, the student must begiven credit for the ten hours difference and is not required to complete the core at his “new”school. That is, the core is not to be transferred course-by-course, but only as a “core”.) As aresult, only six hours of
