In the evolving Edu- Tech landscape, culture, infrastructure, and innovation tackle digital transformation and Industry 5.0 challenges. This specialized study explores how culture mirrors infrastructure and provides dynamic solutions in engineering education for the digital era. The all-encompassing comprehensive theoretical framework of the X.O Wave/Age Theory, which harmonizes the paradigms of Industry 5.0 with the ethos of combining the future of Industry 4.0 which is called Industry 5.0 as symbol of West Cultures and the future of Society 5.0 as which is called Society 6.0 as symbol of Non-West Cultures, serves as the guiding beacon for comprehending the intricate tapestry of cultural adaptation and principle in unraveling the complex dynamics at play. The role of culture within Edu- Tech is dual-fold. Firstly, culture reflects the inherent values, norms, and belief systems of societies and communities, thereby influencing the shaping of educational infrastructure and methodologies. Concurrently, culture emerges as a dynamic solution for effectively addressing the unique challenges engendered by the digital-transformation and the requirements of Industry 5.0. This comprehensive study meticulously examines the interwoven relationships between culture, infrastructure, and technological solutions, thereby casting a radiant light on the trans formative potential of Edu- Tech. Edu- Tech is not a one-size-fits-all paradigm; its efficacy hinges upon its adaptability to the idiosyncratic cultural intricacies and specific demands of diverse populations. Thus, harnessing culture as an infrastructure becomes an imperious mandate for customizing Edu- Tech solutions that harmonize with the distinctive cultural contexts of learners. This transformative adaptation necessitates an in-depth comprehension of the cultural fabric that molds educational practices and inclinations. The study undertakes this voyage, unraveling the cultural dimensions that significantly contribute to the triumph of Edu- Tech implementations. The digital transformation, steeped in the principles of Industry 5.0, mandates a comprehensive reevaluation of education's role in preparing individuals for the future workforce. This recalibration entails not only technological innovation but also an astute appreciation of the sway of cultural influences. The X.O Wave/Age Theory, an exhaustive framework that delineates the evolution of industrial ages, yields invaluable insights into the dynamics underpinning this paradigm shift. The study harnesses this theory to adroitly navigate the challenges and prospects intrinsically linked to the transition to Industry 5.0 and the corresponding role of Edu- Tech in engineering-education. Throughout the course of this study, an eclectic assortment of case studies and illustrative examples are proffered to exemplify the pragmatic applications of the cultural mirror. These case studies span an array of cultural-landscapes and spotlight innovative Edu- Tech solutions that have blossomed as a consequence of cultural adaptation. They serve as beacons of light, illustrating the potent efficacy of culture in fomenting trans formative modifications in educational infrastructure, ones that seamlessly align with the unique requirements of learners in the digital age. This study highlights the crucial role of Edu- Tech in reflecting culture and driving transformation in response to the challenges posed by the digital transformation and Industry 5.0. It provides guidance for educational institutions, policymakers, and engineering-education stakeholders to adapt and harness Edu- Tech to create a future-oriented, inclusive learning environment shaped by diverse cultural perspectives.

Since the 1970s, advances in technology have affected everything, including education, training and the business environment, and jobs have always been challenged between education, economic, social, and environmental disruptions in the best way possible to ensure educational business continuity. Meanwhile, educational technologies have been able to improve educational businesses. In fact, the creation of new concept of SMEs as the driving force of educational development, and 7PS pillars play a key role in the process of community development and educational sustainability. Due to the advancement of technologies, these companies have had one of the fastest growths in the I4.0 and in future of I4.0 (I 5.0) will have the most competition in technology and innovation with each other in the world. According to the 5th wave theory, to enter the edge of tomorrow, they need to be prepared to face tomorrow’s crises by identifying and preventing today’s challenges and future shocks. In this regard, the role of education in human resource competencies is very essential. Technical and occupational skills training, social and communication training, personal and personality competencies, conversational intelligence, and methodological and creative traits in human resources can promote sustainability in SME businesses. In fact, with constantly evolving engineering education, today a new form of SMEs (Hybrid SMEs) has emerged that considers competitive advantage not only based on the quality of knowledge-based products and services, but also their competitive advantage is the ability to change 7PS pillars changes. Hybrid SMEs/SME 5.0 seek to create acceptable organizations and markets to address specific socio-edu-cultural and environmental issues. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize and manage today’s challenges and, according to the 3D model of Socio Eco Environment SMEs, for 1-) forecasting, 2-) preventing, and 3-) facing tomorrow’s crises. The ideological principles of Tomorrow’s SMEs/SME 5.0 are based on creating value for healthy living, educational, environmental, and social justice, environmental sustainability, and superior quality products and services.

The future of industry 4.0 which is called industry 5.0 is the crossroads between information technology and operational technology, converging on physical and virtual systems that were previously used separately in industrial manufacturing processes with a focus of western culture. In other words, the supply chain uses technology to create integration between people, processes, and products. SMEs owners, manufacturers, and service organizations can access unprecedented, new levels of data, which can make it easy to understand, control, and improve every aspect of their operations. In the present study, existing research work on the models and assessment readiness criteria for the adoption of industry 4.0 are over-viewed. In I4.0, hybrid organizations are a type of organizations that have two wings of social and environmental mission and economic wing. The business models of these organizations have blurred the line between for-profit and non-profit organizations so that hybrid organizations can fall into both for-profit / non-profit categories. Hybrid Entrepreneurs Seek Organizational Organizations and Markets to Address Specific Social and Environmental Issues. The characteristics of these organizations are creating value for healthy living, environmental and social justice, environmental sustainability, quality products and services. In this paper we did research the development of a readiness assessment framework for tomorrow’s SMEs/hybrid SMEs or SME 5.0 which are small medium sized enterprises for getting prepared for the future concern for adopting the educational components of future of I4.0.

amidst the economic, social, and environmental disruption being faced due to the COVID-19 outbreak, SMEs are being challenged with how best to ensure business continuity. As a result, business continuity and global supply chain performance are disrupted. Due to the damage caused by the outbreak of the Coronavirus, if the economic, social, and environmental losses are not addressed quickly, and practical policies and strategies are not adopted, the damage will be exponential. This means that many SMEs will face many crises in the future. Good governance has significant potential for sustainability & continuity of operations of the business, modernizing SMEs, business model innovation, new business development, improving public service delivery, addressing complex development needs and promoting prosperity, and may help achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. In this regard, smart governance to support business strategies remains an important driving force for this transition, especially in the face of international market pressures and global competition. And it offers incredible opportunities to innovate, strengthen and improve efficient practices and bring many benefits. In the meantime, the role of education is vital for sustainability. Education for sustainability leads to the accumulation of human capital in organizations by improving individual skills, abilities, and competencies. Companies that have better sustainability training have enjoyed more sustainable growth and development by using high-tech and knowledge-based products. In today’s increasingly complex social environments, many E-governance is working to ensure effective planning, implementation, and delivery of education policies. training in sustainable SMEs helps enthusiasts gain the necessary competence and skills to initiate sustainable enterprises. In fact, companies are no longer just legal in nature, and their main goal is not just profitability and accountability to shareholders. Companies have become citizens who are responsible for society and must become good corporate citizens. Innovative SMEs and their business ecosystems can be a major strength in achieving the goals of green technologies, the circular economy, as well as an innovation-enabling policy- and regulatory framework. Therefore, educational sustainability and transition to hybrid organizations are a necessity. In this paper, we are going to introduce a new concept which titled “Hybrid SMEs/SME 5.0 or Tomorrow’s SMEs” through the 5th wave theory towards mapping the future education with using the smart governance.

Since the 1970s, IT technologies have changed all aspects of our lives and affect the quality of livability and human life. At the beginning of the 21st century, three revolutions (D3) of 1-) decarbonization, 2-) decentralization, and 3-) digitalization took place, shaped our century, and as a result of digital sustainable education developments, governments also changed. On the other hand, in the technological age, based on the 5thwave theory, the issue of educational sustainability based on the 7PS model became increasingly the concern of academic societies. Since the beginning of the 21stcentury, the calls of different parts of society, from international institutions to academia, questioned the validity of the current definition of innovative digital educational sustainability. In fact, they state that economic growth, social inclusion and environmental balance, no longer reflect all the dimensions of our global educational societies and propose the addition of other dimensions to policies aiming at digital education, and, based on the 7PS model the political sustainability. The fundamental purpose of sustainable governance is to work in the direction of a healthy, safe, patient and creative society, based on the Hybrid business concept and not just a financially prosperous also environmentally, socially and more focus of education. That means governments must promote a development model which “meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and with a readiness of the future concerns” And in the midst, cyber-government, as a catalyst for the dimensions of a good governance, has enabled government to facilitate the promotion of sustainability in all its pillars (based on the 9PGS model) through integrated policies and sustainable laws, transparency, accountability, commitment and efficiency in providing public services. So, governments have to protect the resources for future generations, but in an age where IoT-Business has penetrated most aspects of society, the world no longer faces only economic, social and environmental challenges, also sustainable education and training. Now that we are on the verge of tomorrow, it is essential that the government recognizes and manages the today’s challenges and based on the 3D Socio Eco Environment SME model to 1-) forecast, 2-) prevent, and 3-) face tomorrow’s crises for a sustainable future and to make the world a better place for living with the participation of citizens in a new concept called Utopia/Urban 6.0. In this research, we are going to study how Cyber Government can be infrastructure for the Sustainable Governance with examining solutions to tomorrow’s crises through the 5thwave theory, Edu 5.0 concept and 9PSG model. In addition, this article is very innovative due to the use of the author’s theories, concepts and models.

Technology development creates new opportunities for business improvement. Internet of Things, Internet of Energy, cyber-physical systems, big-data, machine learning, Ubiquitous and AI are new techniques used in the Industry 4.0 that enable SMEs to better management of resources and flexibility to respond to the business conditions for the 5thwave/tomorrow age theory readiness. According to the latest researches, many devices and equipment that are needed the implementation of Internet of Energy are now ready but surprisingly. These devices are now available; although, a small percentage of SMEs are taking privileges of the technologies’ capabilities towards successful SMEs with high productivity. These researches show, poor growth of IoE-Education in SMEs is due to the lack of sufficient knowledge and skills in the Human Resources to apply the relevant techniques. Identifying and defining the competencies required to utilize these technologies and incorporate it into job competencies along with appropriate planning for Human Resources Development is one of the essentials of today’s business. In this research, the role of energy management and education in I4.0 and their impacts on HR competencies are investigated. It is important to make these IoE-Education technologies simple and user friendly for HR and public sector for facing tomorrow shocks in energy sector by motivating them with showing benefits.

In the age of communications and technology, education as an irrefutable factor plays a vital role in the developing countries to extend their knowledge in different areas. So the managers have more responsibilities to survey the situation to enhance the effectiveness.

In this way, the proposed paper represents IoT applications to solve educational managers on ICT technologies, software programming and hardware equipment.

Efficient energy consumption is a key factor to World's ambitious goals for sustainable development and activities related to air pollution and climate shifting. The increasing consumption of energy and the numerous barriers to its extraction, researchers and various consumers including businesses, industrial and home sectors are looking for new and optimal solutions to increase productivity and reduce the harmful effects of consumption. The need of developing countries to enhance their renewable energy applications will present economic opportunities for trading-based cities. Since the 70ies the technologies and Information Technology became able to change and improve the various energies, business, and even impact our lives. Besides this, they can change the global policy from fossil energy and coal to sustainable renewable energies. Internet of Energy (IoE) is a child of Internet of Things (IoT) and grandchild of cloud. IoT and the IoE as new methods in the world by equipping different environments for energy advanced sensors create smart environments. IoE will drive down the cost of energy to the point that it will be nearly given away. Also, using the capabilities of this technology based on sensors, the behavior of users is predicted and their behavioral patterns of energy consumption are identified and moderated. Among these obstacles are: completion of fossil resources and tendency towards renewable energies, environmental changes, and inclination to information systems network, increased energy prices and technology development. Moreover, in the paper, introduction of IoT as a new Internet-driven technology and related subjects like goals and tools of using IoT is performed. The results of this paper show that the available challenges in energy management to achieve use and generate energy in the most efficient way possible, and the development of a sustainable energy structure will present both opportunities and solutions for this kind of challenges with the help of IoE.

Increasing consumption of energy and numerous extraction obstacles which most of countries worldwide currently are facing, caused researchers and consumers in different era including commercial, industrial and household domain to seek for new and optimum solutions to increase productivity and decrease destructive effects of consumption. These obstacles include: completion of fossil fuels and tendency to renewable energy, environmental changes, tendency to network information systems, rising of the energy costs and technologies development. The ultimate goal of the most efforts and researches is to decrease energy consumption and increase consumers' welfare in all areas. Internet of energy (IoE) technology as one of the latest method in the world has created intelligent environment by equipping different environment with advanced sensors. These technologies provide intelligent connection between users, providers and suppliers with energy consumption environment and monitoring systems which consequently leads to efficiency in energy consumption. Beside, users' behaviors and their consumption behavior patterns can be predicted and then be modified using enablers of this technology which is based on sensors. The results of this paper demonstrate that IoE technology is capable to recognize temperature, light, sound, heat and proper humidity in environment, manage energy in smart environment, decrease CO2 gas, and prevent from environmental damages.
