This paper presents an educational framework developed by the Interreg SIAT H2GreenFuture and Interreg ITAT EDU-CIRC projects to promote sustainable technologies and address competency gaps. The Competence Development Framework (CDF) focuses on sustainability, decarbonization, hydrogen, and fuel cell technology across basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. Utilizing the ADDIE model, the training emphasizes remote and problem-based learning with practical applications in learning factories and laboratories. Innovative teaching methods like experiential learning and simulations enhance engagement. Pilot modules at the bachelor's level highlight education's critical role in the energy transition.

The integration of human-centric Industry 5.0 principles into education requires innovative teaching tools to bridge theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. This paper presents the development of an advanced educational demonstrator: an automated sorting system that incorporates cuttingedge technologies, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) frameworks, and AIbased optical inspection methods. Emphasizing modular design, this system combines 3D printing, precision cutting, and robust software integration to create a scalable, cost-effective learning environment. By merging classical and AI-driven computer vision techniques, students gain hands-on experience in sensor interfacing, real-time data communication, and human-machine interaction through an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The demonstrator not only aligns with Industry 5.0's focus on sustainability and adaptability but also enhances critical thinking, collaboration, and practical skills, preparing students to meet the demands of modern industrial innovation.

Hydrogen (H2), hydrogen technologies and green energy are topics which are intensively discussed in the near past. Nevertheless, today's education in general often lacks of a sufficient emphasis on H2topics. However, the Europe's goals for climate and energy as outlined in the European Decarbonization Strategy consider these energy-form as central component. To build expertise in this area and establish a hydrogen technology sector, it is essential to create collaborations between businesses, R&D centers, and higher educational institutions. This requires a commitment to offering educational opportunities in this technological field, which is considered a necessary step towards achieving the desired outcome. Therefore, launching novel education in this field is one of the important tasks, and considered as a necessary requirement to reach the desired goal. In the context of the SI-AT Interreg Project H2GreenTECH, a teaching program has been implemented to provide fundamental knowledge about hydrogen technologies. The authors of this paper, discuss extensions and improvements based on the practical implementation of the educational program on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Nevertheless, as a part of the Systems Design curriculum this course includes theoretical sessions on background knowledge and system integration of fuel cell systems as well as laboratory sessions for hands-on experience. The successful delivery of the course to student groups in Systems Design demonstrates the viability of the concept. Feedback from students will be used to further refine the course, including expanding the laboratory component and adapting it for a Bachelor's program.

This paper describes the ERASMUS+ project ETAT: Education and Training for Automation 4.0 in Thailand. First, the current situation in Thailand in relation to the shift in national strategy is depicted. Here, the main project objectives and goals are also stated. Next, the lab equipment ETAT Smart Lab is described in detail. It begins with the general concept, continues with the components structure, and concludes with a part on teaching and training. The chapter Technological Models describes the additional hardware components used which are specific to the key area of each partner university. At the end, a chapter Summary and Conclusion is ending this paper.

The approach for the development of Remote Labs described in this paper is based on the use of prototyping and measurement systems from National Instruments (NI), myDAQ and ELVIS. Both can be interfaced with USB, which allows for a great number of experiments connected to a single PC. Basically, the ELVIS with its prototyping board is the perfect solution for developing and testing; the cheaper myDAQ can later be used for the final experiment – the circuit will then be realized on a PCB.As examples, this paper describes the development and the implementation of two experimental boards for the myDAQ: an experimental board for operational amplifiers and a single-quadrant multiplier. These two experiment boards are expanding the number of remote exercises that can be used for electrical and electronic engineering education, and therefore are a perfect supplement for other systems.

This paper shows that it is possible to develop higher advanced experiments with the VISIR (Virtual Instruments Systems in Reality) platform if some modifications are made and operating conditions have defined that match the measurement equipments specifications. The paper describes these additions and modifications as well as the example exercise: measuring the behavior of a 100 m long coaxial wire, including propagation velocity, characteristic impedance using termination resistors, and frequency inversion. As a conclusion, authors and designers of VISIR experiments should not be intimidated by the apparent limitations of the system's capabilities. By choosing the appropriate measurement and setup conditions, also experiments for advanced topics in electrical and electronic engineering are possible.

This paper describes the development of the next generation cluster of computers (CoCo) at CUAS. First, the rationale behind this project is explained. Next, the existing CoCo project is sketched. The section on Machine Learning Frameworks compares different alternatives using well defined criteria and the final section on Hardware Acceleration shows the application of the Intel Movidius Compute Stick to enhance the computational characteristics of the cluster. Finally, conclusions and outlooks to the future of the project are given.

This paper describes the application of innovative elements like flipped classroom, pocket labs, blended learning, remote labs as well as an extensive use of a learning management system in order to transform a classical curriculum for a part-time engineering bachelor into a successful and well-balanced study and work program.

This paper describes the design, implementation, and practical use in Engineering Education of a Computing Cluster using IoT Technologies. First, the development goal and its expected application is explained. Current lectures in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Image Processing will benefit of the massive parallel computing cluster. Next, the design and implementation - carried out by a group of students - are described in detail. Finally, the practical use of the cluster including a test application is shown. Here, current supercomputing methods like Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Open Multi Processing (OpenMP) are used to show the ability and functionality go the cluster.

This paper describes the use of pocket labs based on cyber-physical systems in courses during the first year of engineering education. First it points out the need for change and the use of emerging technologies in education. Then it gives examples of individual course modules where these pocket labs can be used and how they will be applied. Finally it will show, how these building blocks will form the basis for the education in later semesters throughout the course of studies.
