Level:
Undergraduate
Degree Obtained:
Bachelor in Industrial Systems and Technology Engineering
Duration:
Nine semesters
Description:
The Bachelor in Industrial Systems and Technology Engineering seeks to prepare students in five key areas of Industrial Engineering, production, quality, supply chain, productivity, and security, with a systematic and relevant focus so that the knowledge that students acquire is the most up-to-date in terms of methodology, tools, and software applicable to production processes and services. In addition to technology, the academic program prepares students to manage staff.
From the start and through their preparation as engineers, students take courses that are based on the fundamentals of mathematical and scientific reasoning, on the use of information and communication technology, and on how to create study and social habits that facilitate academic and workplace development.
As students advance in their academic studies, they take courses that are more specific to the field of systems and industrial technology engineering. The final phase of their academic study includes courses focused on more modern areas of knowledge and that integrate other areas of knowledge in order for students to successfully acquire required competencies for the workplace, including English. Upon completion of their coursework, students complete a 480 hour internship where they apply what they have seen in the classroom. This is in addition to many of the courses in the academic program that require final projects involving the application of knowledge in industry or research. This allows for students to work closely with these areas early in their academic careers.
Starting in the sixth semester, students who excel academically and have a good level of English are able to work in the field through a program carried out between businesses and university programs.
The department also has an active chapter (#736) of the Institute for Industrial Engineers (IIE, http://www.iienet2.org/), in which students organize activities related to academic development, social responsibility and fundraising to attend and organize national conferences (Puebla, Monterrey, Saltillo, Mérida, Villahermosa, Aguascalientes, Hermosillo, Ciudad Madero) and international conferences (Cancún, Montreal, San Antonio, Houston, and Nashville).
