This research aimed to characterise and redesign the didactic modules of the Electronics and Automation Engineering programme at the Universidad Tecnológica Israel. The goal was to meet the practical training needs of students who are already active in the industrial sector and require the rapid acquisition of technical competencies. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining a descriptive analysis of the current curriculum with an exploration of the differences between academic content and labour market demands. Data were collected from job platforms such as Infojobs, Kilur Tech, Multitrabajos, Geprom and Tecyges, enabling a detailed mapping of the skills required by industry, such as PLC programming, SCADA integration and industrial network management [1, 2]. Additionally, student surveys and technical meetings with educators revealed limited access to standardised practices and underutilised infrastructure, as well as a lack of ergonomic and safe environments. Based on these findings, a series of modular learning units were designed and simulated using CadeSIMU, incorporating LOGO! PLCs, HMI interfaces and real-time monitoring tools in order to replicate industrial scenarios [3]. Integrating these modules bridges the gap between theory and application, fosters skill development and enhances students’ employability within a condensed academic timeframe [4]; Trevelyan, 2019). Implementing this model establishes the institution as a leading provider of technical education aligned with international standards and the evolving needs of the industry.
