Training of Industrial Engineers at Industry 5.0: A Curricular Model with Ethical Integration of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Computer Science

Abstract

This article analyzes the current state of the incorporation of emerging technologies—computer science, robotics, and artificial intelligence—into the Industrial Engineering curricula at sixteen Peruvian universities. Using a qualitative documentary analysis methodology, a partial and disjointed integration was identified, with an emphasis on computer science and a clear gap in AI and robotics. Based on this diagnosis, a pedagogical and curricular intervention model is proposed based on five dimensions: curriculum redesign, pedagogical innovation, teacher training, educational infrastructure, and entrepreneurship. This model, aligned with international frameworks such as the educational approach of the university in Northern Lima where this study was developed, seeks to promote ethical, active, and humanistic education in line with the principles of Industry 5.0.
