Technological progress and its rapid evolution have positively affected the industrial sector and different productive/service sectors. One of the service-sectors that have benefited the most has been Education. In this sector, the implementation of current and emerging technologies combined with innovative pedagogical procedures and best practices is known as Education 4.0, which, in this paper, is described and mapped according to the well-known periods of the four industrial revolutions and related to higher education. Likewise, four core components of Education 4.0 to be used as a reference for the design of new projects in educational innovation are proposed (i) Competencies, (ii) Learning Methods, (iii) Information and Communication Technologies, and (iv) Infrastructure. Finally, three case studies applied to Engineering Education illustrate how the proposed components are considered in educational programs' designs.

技术进步及其快速发展对工业部门和不同的生产/服务部门产生了积极影响。受益最大的服务部门之一是教育。在该领域，将当前和新兴技术的实施与创新的教学程序和最佳实践相结合被称为教育 4.0，在本文中，它根据四次工业革命的著名时期进行了描述和映射，并与高等教育。同样，提出了教育 4.0 的四个核心组成部分，用作教育创新新项目设计的参考：(i) 能力，(ii) 学习方法，(iii) 信息和通信技术，以及 (iv) 基础设施。最后，
