The industrial and professional world is undergoing rapid technological advances. These advances comprise Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, defined as the convergence of digital, biological, and physical technologies so as to disrupt manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and all industries around the globe. Currently, educators and training providers view Industry 4.0 technologies in segregated silos. To succeed in Industry 4.0, educators will be required to radically rethink their models, methods, and offerings to meet the needs of industry and a rapidly changing society. The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) launched a multi-year dialog among industry, academia, policymakers, professional societies and accreditors on the desired content knowledge and practices needed to prepare graduates of engineering, engineering technology, and engineering technician programs for Industry 4.0 and beyond. These efforts culminated in a series of webinars and an in-person Summit. To capitalize on the momentum of the new ideas and relationships the webinars and Summit helped spark, the next step will be to distill and communicate the key observations and findings from the events.This project will broadly disseminate the findings of these webinars and the Summit among the nation’s community and technical colleges and engineering and engineering technology departments. Policymaker briefings will summarize the key findings regarding the challenge of, and opportunity for, meeting US engineering and skilled technical workforce needs, and a Practitioner White paper will provide a more detailed PDF-format summary of the work presented at the webinars and Summit. These materials will include observations, suggestions, and the examples of best practices on the following: Policies for Building Skilled Technical Workforce for High-Value Manufacturing; Community Colleges and ATE Program Addressing Workforce for Industry 4.0; Alternate Pathways, Platforms, and Policies: Educating Engineers and Skilled Technical Workforce; Scaling Up Industry-Education Collaboration; Industry 4.0 Education, Policies, Perspectives, and Pandemics; A Call for Action for Education 4.0 Pathways; Leveraging New Partnerships and Work/Learn Opportunities for Workforce Development; Expanding Equitable Access to Engineering and Technical Education; Role of Funding Agencies and Influencers in Improving and Enhancing Education and Training Programs; and Preparing the Workforce to Meet Societal & Corporate Responsibilities. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

工业和专业领域正在经历快速的技术进步。这些进步包括工业4.0，即第四次工业革命，定义为数字，生物和物理技术的融合，以破坏制造业，农业，医疗保健和地球仪的所有行业。目前，教育工作者和培训提供商在隔离的筒仓中查看工业4.0技术。为了在工业4.0中取得成功，教育工作者将被要求从根本上重新思考他们的模型，方法和产品，以满足行业和快速变化的社会的需求。美国工程教育协会（ASEE）在工业界，学术界，政策制定者，专业协会和认证机构之间开展了一项为期多年的对话，旨在为工业4.0及以后的工程，工程技术和工程技术人员课程的毕业生做好准备。这些努力最终导致了一系列网络研讨会和一次面对面的峰会。为了充分利用网络研讨会和峰会所激发的新思想和新关系的势头，下一步将是提炼和传播活动中的关键观察和发现，该项目将在全国社区和技术学院以及工程和工程技术部门中广泛传播这些网络研讨会和峰会的发现。政策制定者简报会将总结关于满足美国工程和熟练技术劳动力需求的挑战和机遇的主要调查结果，从业者白色文件将提供网络研讨会和峰会上提出的工作的更详细的PDF格式摘要。这些材料将包括以下方面的意见，建议和最佳实践的例子：为高价值制造业建立熟练技术劳动力的政策;社区学院和ATE计划解决工业4.0的劳动力问题;替代途径，平台和政策：教育工程师和熟练技术劳动力;扩大工业教育合作;工业4.0教育、政策、观点和流行病;教育4.0途径行动呼吁;利用新的伙伴关系和工作/学习机会促进劳动力发展;扩大公平获得工程和技术教育的机会;资助机构和影响者在改善和加强教育和培训计划中的作用;并准备劳动力，以满足社会&企业的责任。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于推动国家经济的先进技术领域的技术人员的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
