A Framework on the New Industrial Engineering Education

The new technologies have come to revolutionize not only the industry but also how we prepare the new generations so that they are able to make the best use of these technologies. This paper consists of three parts: 1) the industrial engineering trends and needs of the industry, 2) the support systems and methodologies developed to satisfy these needs, and 3) how the Industrial Engineering degree program and engineering education needs to evolve according to not only the new challenges that the world is facing but also the way the new generations learn. An overview of the learning methods used in Education 4.0 is presented and how these methods give an integral formation to the students of higher education.
