Abstract
Industry 5.0 aims to integrate human, social, and sustainability aspects alongside the current and predominantly technology-focused scope of Industry 4.0. However, manufacturers must overcome several barriers, such as the lack of qualified talents to develop and manage production systems. Within this context, assembly production systems are recognized as Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) with significant human value. This paper aims to present a practical educational approach to cultivate engineering students’ competencies with a human and social perspective. It adopts a project-based learning approach based on the V-model, incorporating various social and human gates. It is applied in developing an automotive assembly system through students’ projects. Additionally, it involves the parallel integration of Industry 5.0 technologies throughout students’ projects. The project underscored students’ interest and improved their skills required for the Industry 5.0 era. The results enhance our understanding of assembly system development as CPSS and offer valuable insights for educational institutions to develop the different engineering students’ competencies from a human-centered perspective and their perception of engineers’ career.
