Abstract
Much has been debated about training, skills, and abilities of the Engineer 4.0. However, the cognitive aspects that are intrinsic to this new paradigm are not considered in these analyses. Therefore, this work aimed to study the Industry 4.0 under a macro, based on standardization of information, and a micro vision focused on cognitive ergonomics. Industry 4.0 attributes pointed to an increasing industry complexity in the midst of a technological virtualization process, requiring faster and assertive decisions in the face of a wide range of information. It was found that the Engineer 4.0 will be in charge of the solution of increasingly interdisciplinary problems in a digital environment, requiring denser cognitive efforts and more accurate social-emotional skills, such as communication, motivation, autonomy, perseverance, resilience, collaboration and creativity.
