Tec Model
About Tec´s model
Our new Educational Model, unique in the world, triggers and enhances your innovation capabilities, allowing you not only to be current, but to be an agent of change in unprecedented times, in which education is experiencing a complete transformation.
An educational model that challenges you
Your teachers will continuously and deliberately challenge you to go forward and solve problems.
No more courses as you knew them, with knowledge that is not necessarily connected. Yes, to continuous challenges in real, diverse environments to forge within you the person you are destined to become.
Why is it unique?
Our challenge-based learning model is based on four key components:
Student learning during their undergraduate studies is focused on the student's relationship with their teacher and with the environment, in which students develop disciplinary and transversal skills, by solving challenges linked to real problems and demonstrating their mastery of through various evidence of learning. In this Model, the central unit of learning are challenges.
Before you chose a career, now you choose a path:
1. You will acquire the fundamentals of the area, you will know related careers and you will confirm which career to choose.
2. You will develop the core competencies of your career through more focused challenges, while expanding your university experience.
3. You will continue to strengthen skills and give your career your personal touch based on your interests, passions, and plans, through the wide range of concentrations, stays, and certificates available.
Our professors are protagonists of one of the most profound transformations in the history of the Tec and of a paradigm shift that has aroused the interest of the national and international academy.
What teaching practices distinguish them? They create active learning environments and find in challenges a trigger for the formation of the disciplinary and transversal skills that you require as a student, guiding you to transfer that knowledge to real contexts. In addition, they are up-to-date and linked to their practice and work in a multidisciplinary way.
