Master 4.0 -A national education initiative for Industry 4.0

Purpose and goal

Civilingenjör 4.0 has aimed to strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry with unique, academy-developed education for Universities and for industrial upskilling. In the project, 13 Swedish Universities have created 15 internet-based modular short courses with connections to the “new” sustainable and connected industry. 13 industrial companies registered for test of 453 module educations under the name Ingennjör4.0. The project has received attention and been granted a continuation with a focus on "life-long-learning" 2021-2024.

Expected results and effects

Civilingenjör 4.0 has resulted in an education package for academia and industry developed by 13 Universities in collaboration. The education is digital, in English and is aimed at the academy´s students at master´s level and professional engineers. The educations have been tested and used, among other things. Together with 13 Industry companies with good results. The educational concept is strengthened by technology for participating virtually or physically in practical lab sessions. The project has led to improved training and a continued Vinnova funded up-scaling 2021-2024.

Planned approach and implementation

The module educations were developed in collaboration between the Production Academy´s 13 higher education institutions, where different proposals for module content were combined together to create module teams that then developed the 15 modules. This created an opportunity to combine the best content from the best performers nationally. Digital education via the internet was another successful effort. The implementation of module education with larger student groups was simplified, as was a clear increase in the availability- and quality of the material.
