摘要：

The manufacturing industry is in the midst of a major transformation towards more connected, digital, and smart processes. Together, this leads to changing requirements for the current and future workforce. At the same time, many manufacturers are already experiencing a skills shortage today. To address this gap, it is essential to align the educational and training resources with the industry's need to hire graduates equipped with in-demand smart manufacturing skills. In this paper, we analyse the current landscape at US-based universities with ABET accredited Industrial Engineering programs to gain insight in the current and future offerings of Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 programs and courses. The study results indicate that more than half of the responding universities are or will soon be covering smart manufacturing in their programs. Main topics included in the curricula include Introduction to Smart Manufacturing, Data Driven Analytics (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence), Data Analytics Components, as well as Connectivity and Control. © 2022
