Özet

The industrial revolution, which started to develop upon the invention of the steam machine in the 18th century
as Industry 1.0, uses structures including Internet of the Things, cyber-physical system, big data, and data
analytics as a resource. With Industry 4.0, the autonomous machines, virtual environments, and smart factory
systems will emerge in the 21st century, thus, more efficient business models will emerge, and production of
challenging products will be achieved at high speed and quality. The transformation of the industry towards
digitalization does not only change production technologies but also affects education, society, and the economy.
In line with these revolutions in the field of technology, it is thought that the need for a qualified staff in the
fields of Mechatronics and Robotics will increase in the near future. In this context, those who get vocational
training, such as Mechatronics and Robotics, which seem to be the professions of the future, need to adapt
themselves to technological developments. In the study, the relationship between the success level of the
mechatronics program's students, who have intensive internship and employment opportunities in the control and
automation fields in the industrial environment, in the computer science courses for the development of Industry
4.0 and the various variables has been examined. The study group of the research consists of the formal
education students graduated from the Mechatronics Program of Electronics and Automation Department at
Erzincan University Refahiye Vocational School. As a result, improving the interest in the computer science
courses and supporting them for Industry 4.0 can be said to be beneficial for the adaptation of the Mechatronics
Program's students in vocational education to the industrial revolution.
