Abstract

Engineering education in India facing challenges from very past ages, but the most recent calls of Industry 4.0 may cause huge disruption for the ongoing education system. This change will not cause greater transparency or accountability of the education system, but it will reflect the role of universities, colleges on higher education, and also how people learn. Industry 4.0 described as an automation process for manufacturing in a smart way. So the time has arrived to create a new wave of the education system that only solve bookish problems but can educate the people to solve global issues. This study will discuss the problems of engineering education in India and the required change in the educational process to meet the new millennium needs of Industry 4.0.
