For over 20 years he has been dealing with the issues of management, including the Industry 4.0, Smart City, digitalization, artificial intelligence. His achievements include over 500 publications issued at national and international publishers, as well as many undertakings and projects implemented in cooperation with the business environment. Kinga Stecuła received the PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering at Silesian University of Technology (SUT), Faculty of Organization and Management, Poland, in 2021. Currently, she works at SUT in Faculty of Organization and Management, in Department of Production Engineering. Dr Stecuła deals with research in the field of technical sciences, connected with production engineering, but she is also interested in examining human-machine / human-computer interaction and communication. Currently, she is interested in the issues of human-machine relation in the context of virtual reality, augmented reality, and different means of technology. She is also into smart cities, Industry 4.0, and management.Wieslaw Grebski is Professor Emeritus at The Pennsylvania State University. He was an Engineering faculty and Coordinator of the Engineering Program at Penn State Hazleton. His research interests evolved from computer-aided manufacturing to sustainable forms of energy. Professor Grebski was always promoting a close cooperation between university and industry. Under his leadership a new Engineering program focusing on renewable energy was developed. He has coauthored two hundred publications and nine books. Professor Grebski promoted different unconventional methods for teaching and learning. He was the recipient of the Milton S. Eisenhower Award. (This is one of the highest recognitions at The Pennsylvania State University.) He has also received eleven other awards for teaching and advising. He has also taught the dual enrollment class, Introduction to Engineering Design, as a form of promoting the Engineering profession and recruiting students for the Engineering program. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science, American Society of University Professors, American Society of Mechanical Engineers and American Association of Engineering Educators.
