Abstract

Core competencies have a vital role to enable a sustainable change towards Industry 5.0. In view of this, the study aims to characterize the university training skills for adaptation to Industry 5.0 of engineering students at the National University Toribio Rodriguez de Mendoza of Amazonas (UNTRM). It was a descriptive, non-experimental quantitative research; the study population was made up of students and professors of engineering majors, with a sample of 138 students and 28 professors. The results show, that engineering students possess high levels of competencies related to Industry 5.0, including critical thinking (71.7%), creativity (69.6%), digital competencies (61.6%), resilience (60.9%), ethics and collaboration (69.6%). These results are the consequence of innovative pedagogical strategies implemented by teachers, who integrate methodologies that foster advanced thinking, technological adaptability and ethical awareness, thus preparing future engineers for the challenges of a rapidly evolving world. © 2024 IEEE.
