Podlesny S. V. Modern educational trends and technologies for training engineers for Industry 4.0
 The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is transforming the manufacturing industry and creating a demand for highly skilled process engineers. To meet this demand, educational institutions must adapt to the changing needs of environmental science and provide education that prepares students for the challenges of Industry 4.0. This article discusses modern educational trends and technologies for training materials processing engineers for Industry 4.0. One of the trends in modern education is the adoption of interdisciplinary curricula. Interdisciplinary curricula also prepare materials processing engineers to work in cross-functional teams. Project-based learning, an approach to education that emphasizes learning through projects rather than traditional lectures, is an effective way to prepare material processing engineers for Industry 4.0 as it allows students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems. Virtual and augmented reality technologies are becoming more and more popular in education. These technologies provide immersive learning. Artificial intelligence is another technology that is transforming the manufacturing industry. Materials processing engineers must have a basic understanding of artificial intelligence in order to work effectively in Industry 4.0. Educational institutions can incorporate artificial intelligence into their curricula by teaching courses in machine learning, data analysis, and robotics. Schools should partner with industry to provide students with hands-on experience and familiarity with real manufacturing processes. Educational institutions must adapt to the changing demands of industry and provide training that prepares students for the future of work.
