Abstract

Industry 5.0 is the product of the incremental evolution of the 4.0 model. Without disruptive features, this model differentiates itself through a greater focus on social and ecological values. Its challenges include social heterogeneity, the measurement of environmental and social value, and the integration of the entire value chain. While Industry 4.0 addresses sustainability from a technological perspective, Industry 5.0 adopts a holistic approach that places the human being at the core of the production process. This change of focus empowers industry to achieve social goals, in addition to economic ones. This context brings with it the need for a 5.0 education that focuses on the management of technologies and machinery with a humanistic approach, developing advanced cognitive skills and organizational management. Essential competencies include both technical and digital skills, as well as soft skills and emotional intelligence. Five groups of key competencies are identified: soft skills (flexibility and social skills), hard skills (professional skills and technical skills), cognitive skills (analytical and intelligent skills), emotionally intelligent skills (self-awareness and empathy) and digital skills (digital literacy and interactivity). Education 5.0 for industrial engineers should be based on the enabling technologies of Industry 5.0, fostering high cognitive skills in both technologies and organizational management. Based on conceptual guidelines from various authors, it is proposed to create a training space called "Engineering Innovation Space 5.0" (ExI250). This space, oriented towards future production, will function as an educational and training platform, providing an environment for practical and multidisciplinary teaching in production. ExI250 seeks to materialize the vision of Industry 5.0 through a blended learning factory approach with scenario-based learning that allows students to gain practical experience throughout the production process, from customer request to delivery of developed and manufactured products.
