Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution, named as, Industry 4.0 encapsulates the industrial productions oriented towards an intelligent cum autonomous manufacturing process, that in turn, depends upon cyber physical systems, design cum development of cyber physical production systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing communication core. So, for an effective implementation of Industry 4.0, Engineers should have expanded design skills that cover interoperability, virtualisation, decentralisation, Real time capability, service orientation, modularity etc. along with the information technology skills. So, Engineering Education which generates engineers for Industry 4.0, referred as Engineering Education 4.0 (EE 4.0) should get transformed to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, that stresses the integration of all the engineering disciplines. Instead of the present discipline-dependent curriculum, this paper proposes a discipline-independent framework for the curriculum of EE 4.0, in which all the engineering disciplines gets amalgamated, to generate a unique discipline called Engineering 4.0. Every Engineer who comes out of the proposed curriculum will have the basic skills of all the disciplines, social responsibility and professional ethics. Learning outcomes, measured in the usual way with the standard tools, are mapped with the skill-requirement of industry 4.0. © 2018 IEEE.
