Industry 4.0 is the name given for the ongoing revolution and innovation in the automation of industry, using smart technologies. Industry 4.0 concepts can be grouped into four key areas:
Implementing Industry 4.0 ideologies can have many benefits for industry, including:
The aim of our program is to help students prepare for a career in a range of industries where Industry 4.0 skills are commonly used and increasingly required.
As part of our STEM career pathways program, Industry 4.0 is designed to provide middle and high school students (grades 7-10) with an introduction to Industry 4.0 concepts and applications across a range of industry sectors.
The Industry 4.0 program is designed to give students a foundation in how Industry 4.0 and STEM concepts are applied in career pathways and then develop their knowledge and skills in specific industry sectors:
The Industry 4.0 Lab will provide the opportunity for students to explore concepts such as sensors and control, data analytics, and the efficient utilization of resources. The program is designed to provide students with the skills and expertise they need to succeed in high school, college, industrial skills programs, and industry certification courses.

TransportationA large part of the Industry 4.0 Career Pathways operation Program is project-based. Students work on projects as part of a multidisciplinary team to produce solutions to real-world problems.
The project-based nature of the program gives students the opportunity to learn, develop and apply academic skills and knowledge while they develop “21st Century Skills” such as critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
Each course provides instruction for advanced CTE certification courses, and career readiness - covering pathways such as:
The Industry 4.0 Career Pathways Program includes 8 project-based courses. An outline of each course is included in the Program Guide, containing:
Each course contains:
