Adapting Engineering Education to Industrie 4.0 Vision
  Industrie 4.0 is originally a future vision described in the high-tech
strategy of the German government that is conceived upon the information and
communication technologies like Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things,
Physical Internet and Internet of Services to achieve a high degree of
flexibility in production, higher productivity rates through real-time
monitoring and diagnosis, and a lower wastage rate of material in production.
An important part of the tasks in the preparation for Industrie 4.0 is the
adaption of the higher education to the requirements of this vision, in
particular the engineering education. In this work, we introduce a road map
consisting of three pillars describing the changes/enhancements to be conducted
in the areas of curriculum development, lab concept, and student club
activities. We also report our current application of this road map at the
Turkish-German University, Istanbul.
