Cover Story: This study examines how Education 4.0 and digital learning impact engineering students' learning outcomes. Through four case studies developed over four years with 119 students, technologies such as Modular Production System (MPS), digital twins, robotics, 3D printing, mobile learning, and AI were integrated into an active learning methodology with continuous teacher support. Using mixed methods (grades, surveys, interviews), the results showed enhanced discipline skills, creativity, self-efficacy, collaboration, and self-directed learning. The results are attributed not only to technology but to the incorporation of reflective teaching. The findings help strike a balance between technology, teaching, and student-centered cognitive and affective learning outcomes. View this paper
