Abstract:

Objective: to identify the degree of relevance of the Food Science and Technology Engineering Teaching Program (PDICTA) to face the challenges demanded by the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. Method: to collect the data, a survey was applied as a measurement instrument, using the Likert scale of five response options to 10 items for a representative sample of 12 teachers and 14 graduates of the program. For the analysis of the survey data, descriptive statistics was applied. Results: The findings were as follows: in 4 of the items, the professors and graduates declared to agree, while in the remaining 6 items, the results showed different responses that were at levels that varied from disagreeing, neutral and agreement. Discussion and conclusion: that both professors and graduates agreed that the former supported the latter in the development of four of the ten skills or competencies demanded by Industry 4.0, indicating that the PDICTA is in a process of exchange to enter the labor market demanded by Industry 4.0.
