Abstract: The development of Malaysia's social and economic capital depends on the young generation because of the country's education system. Education is also a trigger for creativity and innovation that equips the young generation with the required skills to compete in the career market and become a driving force for economic development. Therefore, in the national education system, teachers play the role of human builders to give birth to the next generation while meeting the ethical requirements of Industrial Revolution 4.0. Therefore, a quantitative study was conducted on students who followed the TVET education major at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to survey the awareness of TVET education students about Industrial Revolution 4.0. A complete questionnaire with 16 items using 5 Likert scales, including respondent demographics, was constructed using the Google Forms application and distributed. A total of 56 respondents gave feedback, and the findings were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27 to see the mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Overall, it was found that TVET Education students' awareness of Industrial Revolution 4.0 is at a high level. However, there are some items that are at a low level where students have never heard of or know about smart factories, big data, machine-to-machine (M2M), or cyber-physical systems (CPS).
