Bioengineering and Chemical Processes
Tec21 Model: Tec challenges you
Our challenge-based educational model develops the competencies that will enable you to face up to the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century creatively and strategically.
With an education that will accompany you throughout your life, our aim is for you to be aware of the needs of the environment, acquire a systemic vision of problems and develop the capacity to solve them.
Right from the first semester, you will be participating in activities to develop your capacity to identify opportunities, find resources, take risks and recover from failure.
In addition, the model empowers you to make more decisions about your university studies as you progress, in order to develop a unique profile.
What are the characteristics of Tec-educated leaders?
At Tecnológico de Monterrey, we have defined, after consulting leaders from diverse sectors and employers, seven competencies that all our students should possess. Regardless of which degree you are studying, the educational model anticipates that you will develop them through diverse challenges, courses and activities related to your university experience.
They are:
- Self-knowledge and management
- Innovative entrepreneurship
- Social intelligence
- Commitment to ethics and citizenship
- Reasoning for complexity
- Communication
- Digital transformation
These seven competencies, together with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values related to the area of Engineering - Bioengineering and Chemical Processes and your degree, will be your letter of introduction and your passport in the professional world.
Step-by-step record of your learning
While you are at university, you will keep a record in your competency file of the degree of progress you have made and the supporting evidence. Taking responsibility for creating this file will, from this very moment, be extremely useful when you join the workforce.
The three stages of the model
Acquire the basic knowledge of your area and face challenges to reinforce this knowledge.
Develop the competencies relevant to your degree through more focused courses and challenges.
Give a personal touch to your degree program through specialization within or outside your discipline.
Engineering
A New Generation
We are living in a time when access to and the application of knowledge is moving at lightning speed, a reality driven largely by engineering professionals.
Engineers trained at Tec have a renewed profile and a forward-looking vision. You will find them grouped together in four tracks or lines of development: Computer Studies and Information Technologies; Innovation and Transformation; Bioengineering; and Chemical Processes and Applied Science. Each track addresses, from its own environment, society’s enormous challenges, which require solutions backed by technology-based knowledge.
The Bioengineering and Chemical Processes track is comprised of degree that develop students’ competencies for the sustainable appropriation, manipulation and transformation of matter and energy, in order to develop the innovative products and processes required to tackle society’s current challenges in the areas of food, energy, the environment, healthcare and quality of life.
