Industrial Engineering consists of designing, managing and improving production and service systems. The philosophy of the career is that “there is always a better way of doing things”, and the goal of the industrial engineer is to find that best way to do things in all the areas in which he works, facilitating the generation of quality products (whether goods or services) and optimizing the use of inputs and resources from a systemic approach of organizations.

Curriculum

The curriculum consists of a total of 45 subjects, designed to be completed over 5 academic cycles. In addition to the standard course duration, students should account for an aditional six-months graduation process.

Basic sciences and mathematics

Includes the scientific training necessary for the understanding of the principles and fundamentals of engineering.

Basic engineering

Consisting of courses that largely cover the training necessary for the understanding of the process technologies used in the engineering.

Humanistic and Social

With which the training of the professional of Industrial Engineering is completed. The topics of integral formation, environment, human rights, gender and violence and ethics are addressed.

Industrial Engineering Specialty Areas

The applied engineering courses offer the student trainning in Industrial Engineering. The emphasis is on four fields, .Operations, Quantitative methods, Management system and Finances & Projects.

Technical electives

A complement to these four areas of knowledge mentioned. The students could choose the subjects that have the desire to expand their knowledge in the different areas of the field of Industrial Engineering.

Graduate Profile

Facilities At Your Disposal

Practice in our courses is very important, that is why we have hardware and software equipment to complement theory. Some of the laboratories where our students carry out their practice are:

- Industrial Productivity Laboratory I & II.
- Chemistry and Physics Laboratories
- Materials Mechanics Laboratory
- Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Design Laboratory
- Materials Science and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

Schedule

In the first 3 years classes have been scheduled for the morning and afternoon. In the fourth year classes have been scheduled mainly in the afternoon. In fifth grade, classes have been scheduled early in the morning or evening.
