Selection and Development of Technologies for the Education of Engineers in the Context of Industry 4.0

The fourth industrial revolution has been changing the way new products are produced, global competition and labor relations. More than that, it alters social relationships and educational methodologies. Educational administrators are responsible for adjusting the curricula of engineering courses in order to prepare new professionals for the needs of the industry. In this work an exploratory research is carried out in the literature for the selection and development of educational technologies, which can assist in the new teaching methodologies for the education of Engineers, in the context of Industry 4.0. A market research is carried out to evaluate the technologies available in Brazil with good cost-benefit and partnerships are established for the development of an industrial automation kit. The selected and developed equipment is presented, as well as the design of a laboratory for innovation and entrepreneurship called Fablab and implemented by the Universidade Paulista - UNIP.
