In the context of the Industrie 4.0, the integration of interdisciplinary competences becomes an essential prerequisite for innovation. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need support in the form of access to relevant experts and infrastructure available at research institutes. Thus, this paper examines whether research institutes in Germany are currently able to cover the industry's need for digitization expertise and how they need to evolve to better support SMEs during the development of digital products. In order to answer these research questions, the competence demand of SMEs and the supply by the research landscape are compared. On this basis, gaps are identified. The focus of the analysis is on the development of digital products in Germany. Based on concrete project examples, influencing factors for successful knowledge transfer will be discussed and recommendations derived.

In the last decades, technology has revolutionized our world and our way of living. Universities and their educational models are facing a big challenge: technology is changing and evolving in an exponential way. The big question is how can educational models also evolve to prepare graduates with the proper skills needed for a changing technological world? Since 2013, Tecnológico de Monterrey has been implementing its Tec21 Educational model based on flexible programs on how, when and where the learning occurs and the use of Active and Challenged Based Learning with the goal of developing disciplinary and transversal (cross-curricular) competencies. This study shows the results of a Mini Drag Race Challenge for first-year engineering students of the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering programs at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey. The challenge's objective is for a group of students to design and build a car and race it along a straight-line track in the shortest possible time. The development of two soft transversal competencies were chosen with this challenge: Critical Thinking, and Problem Solving. These two soft skills are necessary for any graduate student. Results showed that students were satisfied and engaged with the learning approach of the Mini Drag Race Challenge and identified the importance of these two soft skills in solving real-life problems as future engineers. This active and challenge based learning approach takes the student outside of the traditional way of learning into a hands on experience, promoting a higher order of thinking and with the aim of developing skills and competencies that will prepare them for their engineering professional lives.
在过去的几十年里,科技彻底改变了我们的世界和我们的生活方式。大学及其教育模式正面临着一个巨大的挑战:技术正在以指数级的方式变化和发展。一个重要的问题是,教育模式如何演变,使毕业生具备适应不断变化的技术世界所需的适当技能?自2013年以来,Tecnológico de Monterrey一直在实施其Tec21教育模式,该模式基于灵活的计划,包括学习的方式、时间和地点,以及主动和挑战式学习的使用,目标是发展学科和横向(跨课程)能力。这项研究显示了蒙特雷校园Tecnológico de Monterrey机械和机电一体化工程专业一年级工程专业学生参加的迷你直线加速挑战赛的结果。这项挑战的目标是让一组学生设计并制造一辆汽车,并在尽可能短的时间内沿着直线赛道进行比赛。这个挑战选择了两种软横向能力的发展:批判性思维和解决问题的能力。这两项软技能对任何研究生来说都是必要的。结果显示,学生们对Mini Drag Race挑战的学习方法感到满意和投入,并认识到这两项软技能对未来工程师解决现实问题的重要性。这种积极的、基于挑战的学习方法将学生带出传统的学习方式,进入动手体验,促进更高层次的思维,并以培养技能和能力为目标,为他们的工程专业生活做好准备。

Design thinking (DT) is a robust framework to creatively identify and solve various human problems. It offers a systematic solution to train engineering students in critical and creative thinking to solve complex engineering problems. The DT method is integrated with the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) approach with the objective of developing problem-solving skillset amongst engineering students. This paper presents the implementation of CDIO-DT towards achieving the program outcome related to environment and sustainability (PO7) for the first year civil engineering students taking an introductory course on Civil Engineering Appreciation (ECM414). Problem-based learning (PBL) was used as a teaching and learning method in the course where the students participated in an innovation competition. Performance criteria matrices were used to evaluate the project report, program outcome attainment, and the application of CDIO-DT approach. Survey conducted indicates that students demonstrated positive perceptions on their knowledge and understanding of the environment and sustainability elements using the CDIO-DT approach. The finding is supported by the true attainment of PO7 in the course assessment. It can be concluded that the CDIO-DT approach is a good method to improve the cognitive learning domains in developing student attributes towards the understanding of complex engineering problem-solving in societal and environmental contexts. Overall, from a continual quality improvement (CQI) perspective this study is important to improve, develop and evaluate the teaching and learning methods adopted for effective engineering education.

The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype of a new radiation education tool of a location-based AR application that displays cosmic radiation (cosmic rays) dose rates on flying aircrafts in real time. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, radiation education has been started again in elementary and junior high schools after 30 years' absence to teach radiation protection. The unit of the dosimetry is defined by Sievert and primary school children are not familiar with the units. It's necessary to develop a new educational tool to teach dosimetry caused by natural radiation for primary school children. The new educational tool was focused on flying aircraft above cities. Cosmic radiation has a feature of altitude dependency. If the learner can monitor the dosimetry in flying aircraft in real time, it will be expected to learn the relationship between the amount of the dosimetry unit and a lower limit for health damage in daily life intuitively. Besides, learners may gain interest in astrophysics and particle physics by using the tool. In this paper, an overview of the new tool is described and the approximation calculation method to estimate the dosimetry in flying aircraft is compared with JISCARD. As the result, the approximation calculation method was verified for the tool for show the dosimetry in flying aircrafts.

Emerging technologies are rapidly and deeply impacting the companies' organization, so it is necessary to develop new competencies to face the digital transformation. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that provides a thematic umbrella that allows educators to develop engineering skills focused on designing electronic devices, programming, connectivity, and the use of platforms in the cloud, among others. This paper describes the experience called “Development of monitoring and control systems for the Internet of Things (IoT)” that took place during the i-Week 2018 at Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City Campus. The engineering students involved in this activity received training on Sigfox and LoRaWAN technologies from external companies and develop an IoT solution following the PBL (Project-Based Learning) methodology, so the students achieved a global vision about industrial and academic IoT design. Each multidisciplinary team developed a functional prototype for solving a specific real problem using Sigfox and LoRaWaN. Also, an executive report and a testimonial video were the deliverables evaluated. The results of implementing the i-Week are positive because IoT skills, problem-solving and collaborative work competencies were achieved by each student. In addition, an excellent qualitative result was the extraordinary impression of the companies about the technological goals achieved by the students during the i-Week. Besides, their communication skills and their technology integration capacity were developed.
新兴技术正在迅速而深刻地影响着公司的组织,因此有必要培养新的能力来面对数字化转型。物联网(IoT)是一种新兴技术,它提供了一个主题保护伞,使教育工作者能够发展工程技能,专注于设计电子设备、编程、连接和使用云平台等。本文描述了在tecologico de Monterrey墨西哥城校区2018年i-Week期间发生的名为“物联网(IoT)监控系统开发”的经验。参与本次活动的工科学生接受了来自外部公司的Sigfox和LoRaWAN技术培训,并根据PBL(基于项目的学习)方法开发了物联网解决方案,因此学生们对工业和学术物联网设计有了全球视野。每个多学科团队都开发了一个功能原型,用于使用Sigfox和LoRaWaN解决特定的实际问题。此外,还评估了一份执行报告和一段推荐视频。实施i-Week的结果是积极的,因为每个学生都达到了物联网技能,解决问题和协作工作能力。此外,公司对学生在i-Week期间实现的技术目标印象深刻,这是一个很好的定性结果。此外,他们的沟通技巧和技术整合能力也得到了发展。

Each multidisciplinary team developed a functional prototype for solving a specific real problem using Sigfox and LoRaWaN. Also, an executive report and a testimonial video were the deliverables evaluated. The results of implementing the i-Week are positive because IoT skills, problem-solving and collaborative work competencies were achieved by each student. In addition, an excellent qualitative result was the extraordinary impression of the companies about the technological goals achieved by the students during the i-Week. Besides, their communication skills and their technology integration capacity were developed.","PeriodicalId":250947,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128360764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
