Abstract

To respond to the needs of IR 4.0, universities must continue to play their role as proving ground for educating the future generation and innovation. However, close collaboration with industry and stakeholders will be even more important to implement Education 4.0. Many of the components of IR 4.0 already exist in the Malaysian higher education system, but perhaps in separation such as soft skills that IR 4.0 demands have already been introduced to higher education in the country. In the context of demanding requirements of IR 4.0, it is important to look back on how the delivery of soft skills can be made more effective. Efforts should be made on how to make digital or even data literacy more accessible to the overall student regardless of discipline. Hence, the need for human resources in the key technical areas in IR 4.0 such internet of things (IoT), big data and analytics, cloud computing, virtual/augmented reality, and robotics should be assessed. This chapter will focus on integrating IoT in higher education.
