Abstract: This paper aims to examine how universities prepare students for meeting the job needs in the 4th industrial revolution society and suggest a curriculum to meet the students’ needs. In order to achieve the research goal, a survey method was used. According to Wikipedia, the 4th industrial revolution consists of various technological components such as mobile devices, Internet of things Platforms, big data, and augmented reality. This study attempted to determine whether the university’s curriculum is designed to prepare students for obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary in society. It also examined how students perceive their abilities to handle technologies and get jobs in the changing society. Based on the data analysis, suggestions were made to adjust a curriculum design for future changes.
