“…In this sense, in order to promote a more inclusive curriculum and teaching and learning practices, the various stakeholders interviewed suggested involving not only higher education institutions in the organisation of their courses and curricula (for example, prioritising soft skills or transversal competences) and marketing policies (advertising courses with a more inclusive approach in terms of gender) but also teaching staff (for example, renewing teaching staff and training them in various areas, especially in soft skills or transversal competences and in practices that promote active learning). The lack of employability skills associated with soft skills could easily be eliminated by the promotion of collaborative learning spaces, authentic learning experiences based on engaging students in real situations, project-based learning, industrial visits, guest lectures and problem-solving methodologies [2,5,12,[14][15][16].…”

The purpose of this paper is to raise important issues in engineering education in the face of contemporary challenges and demands through the voices of different stakeholders in engineering curricula and in the practice of professional engineering. Several challenges and future perspectives are based on important skills, like soft skills, which are required by employers and include communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and emotional intelligence, as well as the ability to work with people of different backgrounds and apply technical knowledge. A qualitative data analysis of interviews with students, alumni, teachers and employers revealed the demand for more balanced qualified curricula for higher education institutions in the field of engineering. This includes the promotion of collaborative learning spaces, authentic learning experiences based on engaging students in real situations, project-based learning, industrial visits, guest lectures and problem-solving methodologies that are perceived by these stakeholders as essential in the construction of a curriculum, in line with the specific technical competences of each area.

In a production environment, there are several challenges in meeting the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) standard requirements. Energy efficiency is an essential area of focus. In the production setup, the critical and real-time control systems need to be very efficient while implementing functions, namely, accurate sensing, fast processing and precise actuation. Automated Guided vehicles (AGVs) and Automated Guided Vehicles are an integral part of modern and intelligent manufacturing systems. Power consumption in such systems is directly proportional to the performance level achieved. However, there is a need to evolve strategies to reduce power consumption and attain optimal performance. Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) based controller solutions can provide competent performance at optimized power consumption. The proposed work discusses the requirements of I4.0 concerning energy efficiency infrastructures for the intelligent manufacturing setup. The need to develop efficient subsystems for sensing, decision-making and actuation based on FPGA is stressed. Thus the focus is on the FPGA based power-efficient models used for sensor fusion technique in Autonomous Mobile Robots. The fundamentals of sensor fusion technique and the need to fuse sensor data for improved decision making and actuation are emphasized.
