PAVON GONZALEZ, Yanelis; ORTEGA GONZALEZ, Yadary Cecilia; INFANTE ABREU, Marta Beatriz  and  DELGADO FERNANDEZ, Mercedes. Method for projecting information technology knowledge relevant to industrial engineering. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.6, pp. 10-21.  Epub Dec 02, 2021. ISSN 2218-3620.

Industrial engineering career, as others, should project actions to facilitate the strategic incorporation of new knowledges that emerge due to information technologies accelerated development. Such knowledges must be oriented to envision and manage the technological change resulting of IT adoption in Cuban organizations. The objective of the paper is to present a method to project conceptual change for the industrial engineering curriculum in Cuba, in order to improve the design of research lines and curricular contents, impacting on Cuban society computerization and digital transformation. The proposed method uses the quality function deployment (QFD), to correlate customer needs and IT ontological knowledge. As a result, the IT knowledge subdomains concerning this professional profile are obtained, as well as suggestions for training actions and research projects oriented to create management and innovation capabilities based on IT capabilities.

Keywords : University; industrial engineering; IT ontological knowledge; conceptual change; QFD.
