Higher education institutions (HEIs) must equip engineering and management students with the requisite leadership abilities for this new era as Industry 4.0 (I4.0) changes how organizations function.The evaluation aims to recognize and evaluatetheexistingHEIpractices fordevelopingI4.0 inengineeringandmanagement students.Accordingtothefindings, HEIs are introducing I4.0-related subjects into their curricula, employing cutting-edge teaching techniques, including project- and problem-based learning, giving leadership development courses, and offering hands-on learning experiences andvirtual simulations.TheprominenceofleadershipqualitiesbyHEIsneeds tobemoreconsistent,andthere is a need for further studies on how beneficial these practices are. The evaluation emphasizes the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperationbetween higher education institutions andbusiness partners to guarantee that students have the abilities and information required to be successful in I4.0 leadership roles. It also points out several difficulties and restrictions with the current HEI practices for developing I4.0 leadership abilities, including the requirement for standardized procedures, a lack of faculty experience, and insufficient funding.The study offers a thorough review of HEI practices from the body of literature that supports the development of I4.0 in engineering and management students' leadership abilities.The findings can assist in addressing the skills gap in the quickly developing field of I4.0 and guide the creationoffutureHEIpractices thatcanbetterpreparestudents for leadershipjobswithintheenvironmentofI4.0.
