The implementation of competency-based training is a challenge for universities in the current context, in the midst of the revolution in economic systems brought about by Industry 4.0. This article analyzes the competencies required in the industrial and administrative engineering programs in Medellin in face of this pheno[1]menon. An exploratory methodology with a mixed approach was proposed, with surveys applied in higher education institutions that offered the aforementioned programs and companies related to Industry 4.0. In addition, a prospective-oriented consultation (Delphi) was carried out with experts on this subject. Secondary information was obtained from databases based on a systematic review of literature and the consultation on websites of different universities in Medellin. The results obtained show the importance of making curricula more flexible and promoting comprehensive training in industrial and administrative engineering.
