Abstract

Professional skills are components that are linked to the known figure that create understanding of the conjunction of procedure, line of action, and achievements that are required of industrial engineering. Education is a process that is executed through the union of two functions: teaching and learning, which best encapsulates abilities which will create competency.

The rapid growth of technologies and communication, the rising development of information in the social environment, assist the educational system to be transformed in a continuous change through new demands and values. The objective of this investigation is to increase capacity which leads to graduate careers which also consider competent evaluations in general. A descriptive methodology was applied with analytical documentation and questionnaires, using qualitative and quantitative data.

The job field in industrial engineering is vast and with the generalized training there are requirements that employers seek which are developed in their professional career. In this research there are methodologies which are used to identify what are the main skill sets and competencies an employer is looking for. To achieve the aforementioned goal, a field study was conducted through interviews which established a recollection of data which allowed to identify and conclude the relevancy of the key competencies needed in the industrial engineering field.
