Abstract
Industries across the world are witnessing profound technological paradigm changes, necessitating a new set of engineering skills and capabilities for the future workforce. This paper investigates the needed engineering competencies required to bridge the skill gap related to Industry 5.0. Our work analyses current educational frameworks on the topic and proposes a new concept based on the exploitation of learning factories. The paper showcases the conception, execution, and evaluation of a summer school program dedicated to such an objective. It discusses the structure, methodologies, and outcomes of this course, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed didactic framework. The findings offer valuable insights for educators and industry professionals alike in preparing the future workforce for the challenges and opportunities of Industry 5.0.
