On 20th<\/sup>August 2019 Steel Institute (IEHK) welcomed 35 international undergraduate students from China, Canada and Taiwan who participated in an educational event entitled \u201cSummer School – Production Technology meets Industry 4.0\u201d. The students were accompanied by Prof. Xiaokai Chen, the associate professor of the Beijing Institute of Technology. The 3-week event was organized by the International Academy of the RWTH Aachen University and was intended to provide students an introduction to Industry 4.0 and a better understanding of current and future requirements in production technology. The one-day program at IEHK consisted of a brief introduction to the material science of steels and state-of-the-art production technology of advanced high strength steels. The theoretical part was followed by various experimental and simulation stations where students experienced hands-on experiments and worked with diverse computational tools which are utilized towards modern material and process design of structural materials, particularly, low-carbon low-alloy steels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
