A Survey on Industrial Sector Status for Curricula Improvement Linked to Industry 4.0 in Electrical Engineering Program at ITC

Several production industries pay increased attention to the fourth industrial revolution on a global scale. Academics are studying potential changes to the workforce's education and skill set as a result of Industry 4.0. To satisfy the needs of the business from the standpoint of Industry 4.0, capacity building of people from national institutions/ universities is crucial. Best practices for curriculum design also cover the technical skills needed for the company's questionnaires. The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) as part of the project implementation unit under the Erasmus+ project ASEAN Factori 4.0, has been working persistently with European universities to upgrade staff capacity and improve its curriculum. As part of the mission, ITC has done both offline and online surveys to address the needs and skill gap for industrial automation inside manufacturing and processing plants at the regional level. This survey also tries to determine the employment potentiality and demands of working professionals. Moreover, the identification of specialized technology and equipment used in the industry is collected in this study. The result has shown that there is a huge demand for experts that has knowledge in industrial automation and equipment such as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) which has been addressed and updated in the curricula.
