Thus, they are taking advantage of the modern technological devices, information provided mainly by the Internet and the use of current Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Therefore, learning methods and infrastructures need to evolve in order to consider these technologies and response to emergent educational challenges of the world. In this sense, Tecnologico de Monterrey proposes an Open Innovation Laboratory as the main resource to manage that information, enhance interactive collaboration in the learning process and provide the adequate training to students through the implementation of new learning models and technological equipment. These initiatives are fundamental to develop technical skills and experience in students, which allow them to achieve greater productivity, be more competitive and support the development of a new generation of products and opportunities in the manufacturing sector.

However, for this last one seems to be poor documentation about how higher education institutions are dealing with it. It is evident that universities are applying concepts like Open Innovation Laboratories, however it is not clear the methodologies or resources they are using. Tecnologico de Monterrey recently created its own laboratory and in this article we present the motives, concepts and uses of it in the context of higher education. Different approaches are made, from the development of core competences concepts to the physical and virtual tools used in the lab. Two study cases are briefly presented in order to illuminate how external actors are collaborating with internal actors in an Open Innovation process.

This is justified in terms of enterprises' increasing ability to navigate rapidly changing markets at multiple scales and respond to consumer's demands by maintaining high-quality products, lowering costs and prices, decreasing the length and time of product development processes and protecting the environment. This new generation of products permits consumers not only to satisfy a need but also to take advantage of various product functionalities and features to improve the product performance and the user experience considering aspects such as connectivity, modularity, flexibility, customization, environmental care among others. Hence, it is necessary to provide new design approaches that incorporate these functionalities and features, emergent technologies and consider sustainable objectives. In this chapter, the concept of sensing, smart and sustainability (S 3) is incorporated to a reference framework for the development of "S 3 Products"; then designers will be guided during the product development life cycle of these products. To introduce to the concept of S 3 Products, a product model is presented (see Fig. 3.1). This product model includes main components that have to be considered during the definition of S 3 Products. The product model presented is composed of three models: (i) the function model, (ii) the solution model and (iii) the physical model. These models are described below. (i) Function model. In this model, all the product functions must be mapped. The functions of the products are the requirements pertaining to what the product will have to do; in other words, the product function implies the description of any technical system with regard to its work, process or physical characteristics [1]. Thus, the answers to that functions are the incorporation of sensing, smart and sustainable solutions.

To have a smooth and structured transition, the Business Model (BM) need to guide the change. This paper focuses on the demonstration of the Integrated Product, Process Manufacturing System Development Reference Model(IPPMD-RM) as an effective tool to make the Business Model Transition from product focus systems to PSS. It was necessary to describe the factors that develop a better BM. The Smart x Sensing Reference Model (S2-RM) was used to structure the vision of the enterprise. The resulting model was proved in a Mexican enterprise that manufactures Reconfigurable Micro Machine Tools (Rμ MT). Three different scenarios with distinct focuses were applied in the case study.

This paper proposes a mobile platform based on 3D virtual environments to support new product development (NPD) as an alternative to address these issues in the Higher Education sector. This mobile platform is an interactive and learning management system that is used to efficiently gather and manage the tangible/intangible resources necessary in an Open Innovation process for the development of new products in which the co-creation and co-development take place. Therefore, an Open Innovation Laboratory applied in higher education was used as a reference. A case study is presented to demonstrate how the proposed platform can be applied in the higher education context.

In higher education, it is increasingly frequent to observe universities implementing teaching-learning systems with collaborative processes supported by 4.0 technologies. Moreover, various pedagogical procedures, research activities, and co-development projects have complemented these types of collaborative processes, which today are considered desirable to be carried out within Education 4.0. In this paper, the authors propose a reference framework for designing new teaching-learning systems using the concept and vision of Education 4.0. The proposed reference framework considers key enablers of Education 4.0 and three dimensions to analyse and evaluate decisions made: (i) Technological, (ii) Pedagogical, and (iii) Organisational. Finally, two case studies involving collaborative networks and open innovation illustrate how the proposed reference framework is used.

Therefore, companies must offer products that can be competitive in the market and solve social problems through the use of emerging technologies and practices that allow high customisation and better performance of products. Accordingly, the sensing, smart and sustainable product 'S 3 Product' concept has emerged to define these types of products. In this work, a taxonomy of levels of S 3 Products to support New Product Development (NPD) is presented. Thus, the information generated by using the proposed taxonomy will support the design process and obtain an early identification of the value proposition of products to be developed.

Sometimes, the products are extremely limited in the social communication between products to consumers and products to products, and the primary communication system is the interface, but typically, this interface is not designed as a social element. As a result, social communication is minimal. Thus, a basic design methodology that allows product designers to incorporate social factors between products to consumers and products to products is presented in this paper. Also, the term social communication PCPP (Product-Consumer and Product-Product) is coined as a part of the product design methodology that allows defining the social features as primary elements in the process of designing products. Besides, a conceptual method for smart thermostats is proposed for a social communication PCPP to demonstrate how this conceptual proposal could be implemented using the sensing, smart and sustainable (S 3) features.

Therefore, reconceptualisation and redesign in these enterprises must accommodate emergent technologies, new practices and strategies. In this sense, enterprises have used new product development as a strategy for remaining competitive in the marketplace; thus, they can provide a new generation of products offering solutions to contemporary social problems and responding to changing consumer demands. These new-generation products are mostly technology-based and consider sustainable objectives. In this context, concepts such as sensing, smart and sustainable products (S3 products) have emerged to satisfy different social requirements. Therefore, this work focuses on providing a reference framework that presents a systematic process for the development of S3 products. This reference framework is based on the integrated product, process and manufacturing system development reference model. The main objective of this work is to fill the gap vis-à-vis the current lack of design roadmaps that permit the development of this new generation of products in S3 enterprises. The development of a reconfigurable micro-machine tool is presented as that of an S3 product.
