Abstract
The objective of this study is to define criteria in current development of Industrial Engineering (IE) education on the basis of studies and concepts published in commonly accessible databases and knowledge exchange platforms. General assumption of the study is that the universal criteria used in developing IE study programs are already defined and some experiences on their use are already published. The expected outcome of the study is to identify the criteria that could support the development of curriculum for MSc in IE. The approach used here is content analysis with the publication related to the higher level education in the field of Industrial Engineering.
Highlights
The concept of Industry 4.0 is rapidly entering into many areas of economic processes and societal life
The scope of the study is defined within the project titled „Curriculum Development of Master’s Degree Program in Industrial Engineering for Thailand Sustainable Smart Industry (MSIE4.0)” and its output is geographically limited to Thailand but opening phase addresses the global context of IE education that should face the challenge of Industry 4.0
Manual filtering was based on removing the sources that were not referring to IE education on higher level, or to too detailed issues
Summary
The concept of Industry 4.0 is rapidly entering into many areas of economic processes and societal life. Industry 4.0 concept could be defined as: “technical integration of cyberphysical systems into manufacturing and logistics and the use of the Internet of Things and Services in industrial processes” [1] It will influence significantly working environments as a whole, addressing its purchase, production, manufacturing, sales or maintenance processes by including concepts as smart manufacturing and maintenance, with high degree of automation and integration in all enterprise processes [2]. It will increase the role and the participation of customers in all the life cycle phases, starting from Design by customer approach [3]
