Abstract

Industrial Revolution 4.0 has dawned with a new challenge wherein information technology, internet and cyber-physical systems are going to take a priority with global human life. Indeed it will be a revolution that may change the way human beings think, live and work with access to any corner virtually, whereas industry and business will leap higher with a stronger impact on economic developments. Universities need to prepare both academicians and students to upgrade to the present scenario. Academicians should leverage their knowledge and skills and upgrade themselves to the present and future generation Z (gen-Z). Academicians and students need to adapt to the changing trend and new knowledge and skills based on cyber-physical system as part of everyone’s life. Developments and revolutions are part of existence but there is also an urgent call to the world population, wherein human values, ethics and responsibilities of sustaining a good society and planet are everyone’s responsibility.
