- Program Objectives
- General objective
To train mechanical engineers in a comprehensive manner, capable of promoting the development of the community with participation in the creation, design, modeling and simulation of projects of mechanical and energy systems, automated, efficient and eco-sustainable, executing their activities with leadership and professional ethics, implementing new technologies with inclusive, participatory and gender approaches as well as harmonizing technical aspects, economic, financial and environmental with current regulations, in pursuit of the well-being and good living of people.
1. To knowledge and knowledge
Create, model, design, simulate and build automated mechanical and energy systems, applying scientific, technological, technical and ethical knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering, for the production of goods and services in an efficient, sustainable and high-productivity manner.
2. Relevance
To train professionals with the capacity to respond to the expectations and needs of society, to the PNBV 2013-2017, to the development regime of Zones 2 and 9, to the prospect of global scientific, humanistic and technological development, and to the cultural diversity of our country, articulating the academic, research and linkage offer with society, to improve productivity and business competitiveness in the manufacturing and industrial sectors, through the efficient use of production resources and to achieve effective solutions to society's problems.
3. To the learning
To achieve in the student the knowledge, skills, abilities and values so that when creating, modeling, designing, simulating and building mechanical and energy systems, automated or not, they perform in the fields of maintenance, expertise, consulting, supervision, sales, production and others in the industrial field with an attitude towards self-learning, collective work, assertive communication, leadership, working with multi and interdisciplinary teams and respectful of the environment.
4. To Integral Citizenship
Integrate the career to the business community of the manufacturing and industrial sectors, mainly in its area of influence, and to the actors of society, to promote the community management of sustainable models for the design and industrial processes, conversion and transport of energy, as well as for the material transformation industry, which recovers ancestral knowledge, that they implement good management practices, new technologies in an inclusive, participatory and gender equity framework, to contribute to the Good Living of society.
