¿Te identificas?
Si eres curioso y analítico y las matemáticas, la química y la física se te han dado naturalmente, tienes lo que se necesita para ser parte de la carrera de Ingeniería Química.
The B.S. in Chemical Engineering aims to train competent professionals in the design, operation and innovation of chemical processes, based on the sustainable use of materials and energy. The solid training of its graduates, together with the knowledge, handling and application of specialized tools, allow them to work in the industry in technical areas of process, technological development and pollution prevention. They work successfully in the chemical and manufacturing industries, in government agencies and other institutions, and they can also identify and develop business opportunities for themselves or for their employer, both nationally and internationally. They carry out research activities in advanced chemical engineering studies or related areas. They identify and evaluate opportunities for improvement and business in chemical processes. Likewise, they plan, evaluate and execute projects to achieve the efficient and sustainable use of material and energy resources through technological alternatives.
Competencies
- Design chemical processes based on the principles of sustainability in the use of material and energy resources.
- Improve chemical processes through engineering analysis and systemic thinking.
- Integrate technologies in chemical processes based on quality, efficiency and safety parameters.
- Develop business plans in the chemical industry, considering market opportunities.

The three stages of the model
Choose your path
Exploration
- You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
- You will learn the foundations of the area of Engineering - Bioengineering and Chemical Processes.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Engineering - Bioengineering and Chemical Processes, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
- You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
- You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
Focus
- You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
- You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
- You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
- The Tec Weeks, challenges and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
Specialization
-
You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply in your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
- You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests and plans.
- By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
