Abstract

Industry 5.0 (IR 5.0) is transforming the engineering profession and creating a need for new skills and knowledge. Here are some key areas where engineering education can be adapted to prepare students for the IR 5.0 era: interdisciplinary skills, digital skills, design thinking, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. By adapting engineering education to meet the needs of the IR 5.0 era, educators can prepare students for careers that leverage the latest technologies and enable them to make a positive impact on society. Additionally, industry-academic partnerships can help bridge the gap between academia and the workforce by providing students with real-world experiences and opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2025.
