Today’s world is at the precipice of a significant point in history, with the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 said to signal a drastic transformation in our daily lives. Various new technological innovations have made human lives more complex. IR 4.0 is characterized by an advanced digitalized and integrated manufacturing process, internet usage, and merging the physical and virtual worlds by utilizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Therefore, it is essential, then, to sustain the university’s role in improving information connected to Industrial Revolution 4.0 for this revolution to bring significant transformation to the daily lives of our society. Societal life changes over time, but there are concerns that this revolution will erode conventional life due to the modern technology-driven changes in societal lifestyle. The bilateral relationship between humans and these advanced tools means the former is now inseparable from the latter. The great challenge for the University is ensuring all society segments can catch up to the progressing technology. This study aims to explore the various barriers and driving forces that prevent Industrial Revolution 4.0 from being implemented in education. Through a research methodology based on secondary data, the study also explored the implementation of Industrial Revolution 4.0 within the education context, e.g., scientific papers, academic articles, magazines, paper articles, books, and online journals. The most common benefits of the Industry Revolution 4.0 education system were identified and categorized under five dimensions: practical opportunities (learning based), improving the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes, improving the effectiveness of the processes producing more innovative lecturers, and increasing technological literacy among lecturers and students.
