The impact of Industry-4.0, and disruptive technologies demand industry ready graduates. This PPT gives a method planning industry specific engineering programs.

1. PLANNING INDUSTRY-
RELEVANT ENGINEERING
PROGRAMS UNDER
GLOBALIZED ECONOMY
Dr.V.Thanikachalam

2. Industry 4.0

3. Impact of Industry 4.0
 80% of the traditional jobs will disappear
in 20 years
 Update the curriculum and introduce
industry specific courses.

4. Growth of Disruptive
Technologies
 World is changing fast due to fast growth
of digital technology
 Smart cities are developed
 MOOCs are due to internet
 The needs of the industries are changing
due to Industry-4.o

5. Engineers In Industry -4

6. Universities have to Catch with
the Industries
 The current programs will be obsolete
 The existing programs are to be evaluated
against the needs of new technology
initiatives
 The graduates are to be trained in the
cutting edge technologies
 Industry-4.0 has some to Indian Industries

7. Industry-4.0
 Changes are due to:
 Big Data: 89%
 Internet of Things (IoT): 80%
 App/web:76%
 Machine Learning/AI: 75%
 Cloud Computing: 71%
 Augmented/ Virtual Reality: 66%

8. Emerging Work Skills
 Technology Skills
- Data Competency
- Digitization Competency
- Interface Competency
 Cognitive Skills
-Interdisciplinary Thinking
-Critical Thinking
-System Thinking

9. Data Competency
 Data disconnect: Warton research shows a
massive skill shortage to data fluency.
 Growing jobs: Glassdoor recently released
its roster of the fastest growing jobs: the
overwhelming majority are data-related
jobs.

10. Data at all Levels
 Tomorrow’s workforce needs to
understand and manage data at every level-
from data capture, data cleaning, data
integration, and data analytics.

11. Interface Competency
 Worker enhancement, not displacement
 Future of Work (FoW)won’t displace
 Workers will need to coskill, understand
how to work with FoW technologies

12. Digitization Competency
 The connected workplace: Digitalization is
the dynamic that every aspect of work has
been integrated through at job level,
process level, and value system level.
 Workers must develop a deep
understanding of how cloud,
cybersecurity, pervasive computing are
changing the nature of the job.

13. Impact on Future Work
 Financial services: Initial investments in
Artificial Intelligence in customer service,
portfolio management
 IT: Programming system integration
 Manufacturing: Intelligent automation
encroaching at the level with computer
numerical control, as well as design tasks.

14. System Thinking
 Understanding the Connected Workplace:
-More and more aspects of our life will be
connected through technology platforms.
- Examples : The Internet of Things,
Autonomous Vehicles, Automated
Delivery Systems.
- The Big Picture Thinking: The link
between humans, machines, and data.

15. Are you updating the curriculum?
Industrial Growth Industry-4

16. Smart Organizations!
 Smart Hospitals
 Smart Factory
 Smart Stores
 Smart Colleges with Class Rooms
 Smart Teachers?
 Smart Students!

17. Critical Thinking
 Building the future of work: Next wave of
technologies to improve processes, develop
competencies, and drive new, value
generating business models.
 Sorely Lacking in Workforce: 40% of
American organizations reported critical
thinking was the number one skill lacking
in their workforce.

18. Interdisciplinary Thinking
 Generalists are in High Demand: Harvard
study found that specialized job seekers got
fewer offers and were paid less.
 No Silos: One of the growing fields is user
design and interface. Workers in these roles
need expertise in computer science, design,
and human behavior- they need to work
across silos.

19. Philosophy and Artificial
Intelligence
 Bring various fields of thought to bear on a
problem, and to work with people from left
and right side of the brain.

20. Virtual Fluency
 From Cubicles to Anywhere: Gig work,
cowork, and anywhere work.
 Productivity and Innovation issues:
Burnout, lack of connections, culture-
things aren’t going well.
 The Anywhere Work: Train the faculty at
remote collaboration, managing time, and
space boundaries and incentiize properly

21. Cultural Fluency
 Changing Face of the Institution:
Globalization on an international scale will
become the norm, while local social justice
and inclusion movements will shape
Institutions.
 Managing Cultural Differences is a
Learned Skill: People bring a different
lived experience into workplace

22. Changes
 Home is now the office
 Significant work differences: Management:
Management style, priorities, technology
usage, values, goals
 Managing across Demographics:
Tomorrow/s manager needs to be
accommodating, supporting, inclusive, and
insightful

23. Who is going to do this
reskilling?
 Massive Indian workforce
 In the next two decades- Many millions
will be displaced and many millions will be
transformed
 Massive reskilling, upskilling
 Quick, continuous, and flexible

24. Continuous Approach for
Rapid, Flexible, and
Continuous Approach to
Reskilling
 Develop new programs occurs at glacial
pace
 Introduce Python and Artificial Intelligence
 Modules

25. Desired Role of Higher
Education
 Provide credentialing by approving new
standards, affirming that a learner has
gained needed knowledge, skills, and
competencies.
 Add the badges earned to get competencies
 Consolidate the competencies to degrees

26. Lifelong Learners
 Future of Work (FoW) : Automation & AI
are changing the job landscape in
unprecedented ways
 Undergo needed MOOCs
 Be a lifelong Learner

27. Process of Developing Industry
Relevant Courses
 Based on needs analysis of Global Jobs
 Course Outcomes are based on the global
needs (Jobs, Tasks)
 Needs are identified based on the
organizations’ activities( present and near
future) and personal competencies to meet
performance targets.
 Indian engineers can get global jobs

28. Dynamic Changes
 Product Changes
 Process Changes
 New Technology/Improved Changes
 Changes in Laws, Rules, and Regulations
 Scarcity of Raw Materials
 Demand for Newer Goods/Services

29. Outcomes of Microprograms
 Sequence of modules are to be arranged
 A judiciously organized badges
 Transfer a set of badges into competencies.
 INTERDISCIPLINARY degrees can be
awarded based on the competencies earned
.

30. Curriculum
 A systematic group of badges required for
graduation or certification
 A general overall plan of the content or a specific
materials of instruction offered for certification/
graduation
 A body of prescribed educative experience under
college supervision
 Designed to provide an individual with the best
possible training

31. Factors to be taken into
Account
 Entering behavior of the students
 Technological changes
 Legal changes
 Increasing number of students entering into the
system
 Instructional methods
 Integration of courses of study
 Learning materials
 Changes in emphasis needed by social system

32. Micro Courses
 Planned and offered by organizations
 May be FtF or MOOCs
 Evaluated based on the performance
 Badges are provided

33. Rules and Regulations
 Minimum badges required to prove the
acquisition of a competency

34. Problems
 Depth of Coverage
 Participation of Stake Holders

36. Curriculum Based on National
Education Policy 2020 (17.5)
 India must take the lead in preparing
professionals in cutting edge areas that are fast
gaining prominence, such as Artificial
Intelligence (AI), 3D Machining, Big Data
Analysis, and Machine Learning technical
education.
 Genomic studies, biotechnology, nanotechnology,
neuroscience and so on in the sciences.
