Manufacturing, through the Industry 4.0 concept, is moving to the next phase of digitalization. Industry 4.0 supported by innovative technologies such as Internet of Things, Cloud technology, Augmented and Virtual Reality will also play an important role in manufacturing education, supporting advanced life-long training of the skilled workforce. Advanced education, also called Education 4.0, and networked ecosystems will develop skills and build competences for the new era of manufacturing. Towards that, this work will present how the adoption of cyber-physical systems and Industry 4.0 technologies, under the teaching factory paradigm will re-shape manufacturing education, addressing the increased need for highly-skilled employees. A teaching factory paradigm supported by Industry 4.0 technology will be presented, considering the construction of a radio-controlled car.
