Abstract

The term learning factory covers a variety of learning environments. Each implementation of a learning factory looks differently and is used for a different purpose. This paper presents a framework for the development of a learning factory that uses Industry 4.0 technologies and has a strong experiential learning approach. This learning factory is used for training students and employees, and for conducting applied research. The facility provides modern design, prototyping, and manufacturing processes that incorporate Internet of Things, Industrial Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0 technologies. The learning factory also provides opportunities for partnerships where students design and implement projects that foster industry-student-faculty collaboration. This collaboration is expected to culminate in an environment that creates a world-class engineer impacting the adoption of new technologies at a faster pace.
