The social teaching of religions has shaped the bases of cultures for thousands of years. My writing relation between faith and profession that has become the basis of the European citizenship's worldview through the tradition of Judaism and the social impact of Christianity will be presented by a broad historical arc. Protestantism considers work in the human world a task of life, a prerequisite for an invitation to salvation. What does the Bible teach about this? How did the need for tasks to be accomplished become the basis of moral order? What kind of philosophical explanations link the invitation to salvation and the profession as the everyday, functional level of social utility? Perhaps the most spectacular and best-preserved engineering achievements of a man who turned to God in the light of faith are the buildings erected as eternal symbols of the desire for salvation, the cathedrals.

ChatGPT has been predominantly used on the screens of electronic devices. Our study goes beyond the screen as we apply humanoid robots as tangible interfaces for ChatGPT. We explore and compare students' perceptions of the robots Pepper and Furhat used as embodied ChatGPT-connected interfaces providing students with practical advice for exam preparation related to focus and time management. Our study with 30 undergraduate students compared preferences and explored positive and negative aspects of engaging with the two robots used as exam guides. We used the Human Robot Interaction Experience Scale (HRIES) to compare the perceptions of both robots. The results show consistently higher ratings for Pepper compared to the Furhat robot. Specifically, students rated Pepper as significantly more friendly than Furhat, while Furhat was perceived as significantly more creepy compared to Pepper. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were observed in students' preferences, trust, and willingness to interact with each robot. Students expressed a higher liking, trust, and intent to interact with the ChatGPT-connected Pepper robot for exam preparation. This study contributes valuable insights into the use of ChatGPT with tangible robotic interfaces. The findings emphasize the significance of not only functional capabilities but also perceived friendliness, trust, and appeal of educational robots which lend a "face" to conversational AI services like ChatGPT in educational settings and beyond.

Based on the project "Engineering Excellence for the Mobility Value Chain" (EE4M), this paper addresses the increasing need for training, re-, and upskilling of engineers in manufacturing enterprises in the mobility value chain. Recently, the European mobility value chain is influenced by a multitude of hyper-dynamic factors, like changing consumer behavior, disruptive technologies, etc., which leads to the fact that a continuous realignment of engineering education is indispensable. The focus is placed on operations management (OM) which is changing due to the two policy-driven and pre-dominant drivers "Industry 4.0" and "Sustainability". The implementation of smart and sustainable concepts in OM in the mobility value chain entails both a transformation of production processes and a change in the working and learning processes of the employees. Companies are increasingly required to design, manage, and integrate learning processes and learning environments to provide a lifelong learning ecosystem and to prepare employees for changes in work and tasks. Moreover, educational institutions are challenged to successfully address those demands. Therefore, this paper introduces the European research project EE4M which focuses on the professional development of smart and sustainability competences of engineers in the mobility value chain through innovative educational modules supported by a transnational platform between the main drivers of the European mobility value chain. The innovation of the project can be explained by the fact that OM serves as the basis for empirically based realignment of engineering education to create requirement-orientated competence profiles.

This study investigates the efficacy of the blended learning approach by examining the interplay between student characteristics, design learning features, and learning outcomes. Blended learning has become increasingly popular in modern-day higher education. However, research specifically focusing on the predictors of the efficacy of blended learning in Master's level courses in the UK is lacking. The study aimed to identify the predictors of learning outcomes and satisfaction by exploring the design learning elements and student characteristics that contribute to the efficacy of blended learning in advanced-level education. An evaluation research design was employed, and questionnaires were administered to students enrolled in various Master-level Chemical Engineering courses. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and regression analysis. The findings indicate that student characteristics, e.g., their opinion of blended learning, learning management skills and design learning features, e.g., task-technology fit, synchronous features and support significantly influence their satisfaction, motivation, perceived learning, and performance. Moreover, the results suggest that students enrolled in Master-level courses exhibit a high tendency to actively participate in blended learning, especially concerning their proficiency in learning management and utilising synchronous features that enhance their overall learning performance.

We are experiencing the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, living in a digitally interconnected world. This digital interconnectedness has improved social interactions and work efficiency but has also led to an increase in the frequency and complexity of cybersecurity threats. Consequently, the need for cybersecurity professionals has exponentially increased. However, there is a shortage of cybersecurity professionals, and their training is a constant battle due to the lack of specific cybersecurity training. Thus, became imperative to create cybersecurity programs aimed at producing cybersecurity professionals. The present paper goes in this direction by presenting the ***, a pioneering cybersecurity program for high school and university students aged 16-24, in the University of L'Aquila (UnivAQ) venue: ***@UnivAQ. Moreover, we analyzed the registration number of high school and university students at the UnivAQ program during the editions from 2020 to 2023. The preliminary results are worrying, with a considerable decrease in registration numbers in 2023. The awareness of this decrease has led us to propose and implement strategic activities to improve the success of such program. Concluding, this paper paves the way for a reflection on how to effectively address the cybersecurity challenges of the near future, which are expected to be even more interconnected than the current ones.
