Project Summary

Three industrial revolutions have fallen into history. Now we’re talking about the fourth. For the first time, a period was given a name when it did not happen: Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 includes the developments that we see today and which will be seen more intense in the future.
The most extensive discussions involving all industrialized countries are related to Industry 4.0. The focus of the proposal will be on future workers of Industry Era 4.0 and in particular how to educate and train them to be in perfect coherence with the new machines, robots and organizative aspects. We aims at learning what is going on European schools, what teacher and trainers are studying and transfering such practices and knowledge to students, the future workers. We should find a way to engage the students actively in gaining the key competences which is necessay for Industry 4.0.

There are two student mobilities and one joint staff training in our project.
Teachers from each partner will acquire the Industry 4.0 concepts in a joint staff training, which will be implemented in Italy.

In the first student mobility, 28 students will observe the “SpainSkills” skill competition, where professional skills are measured. Those take parts in these mobilities will have the opportunity to examine the industry 4.0 technologies closely.
After these experiences, students will produce industry 4.0-based projects with PBL-based training and 26 students will participate in the skill competition to be held in Portugal nearly at the end of the project during the second student mobility. Thus, both student-centered education and industry 4.0 technologies will be used in schools with PBL methodology.
Thanks to our project, we aim to bring our school to the level we define as school 4.0. With these technology transfers, our school will be able to educate students who have reached the Industrial 4.0 age. IndEra is a project to prepare future workers for the industry.

Each partner will be able to focus on Industry 4.0 topics from the following 9 columns:
1. Big data and analysis
2. Autonomous robots
3. Simulation
4. Horizontal and vertical system integration
5. Industrial Internet of Things
6. Cyber Security
7. Cloud technologies
8. Additive Production
9. Augmented and virtual reality

The main activities for exchange of good practices:
1. “Industry 4.0 Training” Short-term joint staff training
3. Seminars in order to raise awareness for Industry 4.0
4. A pilot PBL student training in Industry 4.0
5. “SpainSkills Competiton Observation” – Blended mobility of VET Learners
6. Industry 4.0 Skill competition among the mixed teams
7. Disseminate the project’s results

The expected impact of the project are:
• Trained teachers and students
• Developing cross-cultural knowledge
• Using the new teaching methodology
• Possibility to benefit from new information and experiences from Industry 4.0
• Interdisciplinary work

The project outputs will be freely available and fulfill the requirements of modern, open and collaborative learning.
