Our master's degrees over time

The Faculty of Industrial Engineering has accumulated experiences since its creation in 1962 in the subjects of Management, Work Study, Ergonomics, Safety and Health at Work, Quality Management, Production Management, Logistics, Decision Support Techniques, Computer Science business considered technological supports of Industrial Engineering, both in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, as well as in research and consulting for companies of all types.

The faculty has been constantly updated since then, through collaboration with different international entities such as UNESCO, the Polytechnic University of Dresden, the Academy of Physical Culture and the Polytechnic of Poznan, the University of Waterloo, in the 1970s. In the 1980s our faculty held exchanges with several universities and specialists from the United States, Canada, Germany, Argentina, USSR, Poland and Spain. Currently, these exchanges have been intensified and expanded with the Polytechnic Universities of Catalonia and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, the MAFRE foundation (specialized in Safety, Hygiene and Ergonomics) in Spain, the Valley of Mexico in Mexico, and Lülea in Sweden, as well as such as multiple contacts with professionals related to the International Ergomomics Association and different national Ergonomics associations.

At international level

At the international level, the beginning of the 21st century saw the essential development of our master's degrees in other Master's programs abroad, such as the Master's Degree in Human Resources Management that began at the “Gabriel René Moreno” Autonomous University..

National scope

At the national level, research, advice and consultancy have been carried out in various branches of the economy such as: biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in general, tourism, steel-mechanical, sugar, maritime transport, light, textile, printing, energy, rubber. and tourism...

Total quality

Description of the program: Aimed at preparing highly qualified professionals, capable of contributing to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of total quality systems through planning, control, assurance and improvement of quality in the different organizations where they work.

The knowledge acquired will allow us to address the design, implementation, operation and improvement of quality management systems, or some of their functions, carry out research in this area and contribute to the training of other specialists.

Areas of knowledge: The use of advanced methods of statistics and operations research, the increasing link with management techniques and human resources, and the application to other spheres such as services, increases the demands on the knowledge of those who They dedicate themselves to work for total quality, whether they are specialists, leaders or teachers linked directly or indirectly to this subject.

Coordinador: Dr. C. Aleida González González.

Human resources management

Description of the program: Its objective is to provide graduates with knowledge, skills and aptitudes for the diagnosis and projection of key policies and processes of current human resources management, with a systemic, ergonomic, participatory, interdisciplinary, proactive, process and work competencies, consistent with the organizational strategic direction and taking into account interactions with the environment.

With these skills, the graduate is able to effectively and efficiently carry out human resources management, both in production or service companies and in training and research centers, as well as carry out teaching and scientific research in that field. This projection is carried out in three essential lines of knowledge, design engineering, organizational economic technique and human behavior in organizations, seeking to focus the labor competence of human resources as a basic competitive advantage of the organization.

Knowledge areas: Strategic human resources and knowledge management, technologies of key human resources and knowledge management processes, impacts of new information and communications technologies (ICT) and development of learning organizations.16: 10
