Future engineers face fundamental challenges, such as digital transformation and the integration of sustainable goals into industrial processes, which require problem solving skills and deep knowledge applied to new context and constraints. This contribution introduces and discusses a project-oriented and scenario-based learning concept employing humanoid robots to motivate and develop technical talents as future engineers, focusing particularly on integrating gender and diverse perspectives into the technical field. Humanoid robotic platforms cannot only motivate to gain complex knowledge, but also provide multiple competence development including criteria such as sustainability and creativity. In this contribution these correlations are discussed and integrated into a study course design for human-machine interaction that is revised for better supporting the competence development of technical talents as future engineers by not only integrating gender and diversity aspects but also taking sustainable goals into account. The revised approach may lead to innovative and creative technical solutions for future challenges. © 2022 IEEE.
