Abstract
In Industry 4.0, people need to be able to handle the vast amount of information from machines. In this sense, for Industry 4.0, higher education institutions play a fundamental role. The methodology of this article sought to identify the knowledge required by Industry 4.0 in the literature; carry out a diagnosis of the courses currently offered by Brazilian universities and the need to incorporate new knowledge, and validate the model in a real application. The survey is classified as exploratory, bibliographic and qualitative, supported by bibliometric research. As a result of the research, we identified that the technical content of courses needs to be reviewed to meet Industry 4.0 demand. Sixty-three per cent of respondents were production engineering course coordinators; 70% of respondents considered that the disciplines of current production engineering courses were not adequate to enable the production engineer to work in Industry 4.0. The priority knowledge for implementation in the curricula was identified as big data, advanced simulation, statistics for large amounts of information and virtual reality. It was also considered necessary to bring the industry closer to the universities. The model developed was applied and validated in a university that was evaluated with the highest score in the National Student Performance Exam (Enade).
Highlights
Innovation is the engine that allows industry to increase its competitiveness
The purpose of this work was to investigate in the literature the knowledge requirements of the production engineer as a function of Industry 4.0, in order to propose a model to evaluate the content of production engineering courses
The literature review concludes that the Industry 4.0 theme has been widely discussed in the scientific community
Summary
Innovation is the engine that allows industry to increase its competitiveness. A sustainable business provides for the integration of social, political, and economic development [1]. Industrial revolutions have taken place, ranging from artisanal manufacture to the automation of processes. In 2011, at the Hannover Fair (Germany), a new concept emerged as part of the German government’s strategy for the development of high technology for the country‘s manufacturing. Was born the term Industry 4.0, from the German “Industrie 4.0”.
