Core Capabilities for Industry 4.0

With Industry 4.0, the demands on engineers are changing: new opportunities arising from developments in artificial intelligence require not only lifelong learning but also a high degree of creativity.The authors provide new impulses for the design of an Industry 4.0-oriented engineering education that promotes the growth of competencies for the working world of tomorrow. Building on basic information on Industry 4.0, concepts from areas such as problem solving, knowledge management, lifelong learning and creativity research are presented and their usefulness for future-oriented engineering education reviewed. The volume is aimed not only at teachers and students, but also at researchers and practitioners.
