¿Te identificas?
Si tienes afinidad por las matemáticas y la física, eres proactivo y además te gusta saber cómo funcionan las cosas, la carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica es para ti.
The objective of the B.S. in Mechanical Engineering program is to train competent professionals in the design and innovation of electromechanical systems, with skills to select the appropriate materials for the manufacture of products; to select, design and integrate conventional and advanced manufacturing processes; in addition to carrying out maintenance schemes and failure analysis, integrate mechanical energy transformation systems and to integrate manufacturing and project management into production processes in an innovative way. All this taking as a reference sustainable development. Graduates work successfully in companies in various industrial sectors or enroll in postgraduate studies.
Competencies
- Develop electromechanical products or systems according to application requirements.
- Develop manufacturing processes by integrating management, productivity quality, costs and current legislation aspects.
- Design electromechanical maintenance schemes, integrating restrictions and current legislation.
- Analyze faults using mechanical engineering principles and tools, and current legislation, in order to establish improvement actions.
- Develop mechanical energy transformation and generation systems considering thermofluidic and electrical aspects.
- Manage mechanical engineering projects from a multidisciplinary perspective, applying requirement-relevant methodologies.

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 - Innovation and Transformation.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Creative Studies, 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.
