Work-in-Progress: Developing a Master Programme for Specialists in Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is storming the world and irreversibly changes it. If Industry 4.0’s physical components develop at an accelerated rate, the human component tends to keep pace. Considering this, it is the responsibility of universities to renew their curricula as soon as possible for the new industrial reality. The MSIE 4.0 project has brought together universities from Thailand, Poland, Portugal and Romania to develop a master programme oriented to Industry 4.0. After analysing existing curricula from various universities and performing a gap analysis between the skills required by industry and those offered by universities, a new curriculum was drawn up, consisting of 16 courses.
