An Archetype for Engineering Education Towards Industry 4.0 Enabled Sustainability

Educational accreditation bodies provide standards of the programs that students should meet. This is a high-level and broad perspective guideline [1]. On the other hand, educational institutes define course syllabi or Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) to guide the learning process and proffer a sense of measurable statement of acquiring a specific skill, which are used by academics and students [2]. There is a massive gap in engineering education to match the higher-level standards and the lower-level ILOs with the industrial needs. At the same time, these standards and ILOs are rigid and do not accommodate current edge technology advances (I4.0), especially those with promising potential for sustainable development [3]. Harmonization quantitatively with sustainability goals is another major challenge [4].
