Engineering education in Indonesia often lacks hands-on, systems-level learning experiences, particularly in logistics and automation. This project introduces an innovative undergraduate course, “E-Logistics,” where students learn logistics not by lectures, but by building. They are challenged to design and build a functional mock-up of a smart warehouse system, a highly relevant and practical context to develop logistics thinking and real-world problem solving skills. The course runs over 8 weeks using a project-based learning framework. Qualitative reflections from students show improved systems thinking, practical skills, and engagement. This practice bridges theory and industry by preparing students for the digital demands of Logistics 4.0, while supporting SDG 4 Quality Education.
