INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING


The Administrative Mechanical Engineering Educational Program began with its first class of students in 1978, celebrating its 43rd anniversary in 2021. Since its inception, graduates have successfully integrated and performed in their professional fields, making the program a source of pride.

Background:

In 1978, during the tenure of Engineer Maximino Torres Silva as Dean of the Faculty (1972-1984), the Administrative Mechanical Engineering program was launched, initiated by Engineer Francisco Javier González Hernández. This program, along with Mechanical-Electrical Engineering, led to the creation of the Mechanical and Electrical Area.

The Administrative Mechanical Engineering program was proposed by Engineer Francisco Javier González Hernández to the University Technical Steering Council. Its creation was the result of an extensive consultation and analysis process, strongly supported by Engineer Verulo Castro López. The process aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a program combining mechanical engineering with a strong foundation in industrial management.

With the creation of this program, the Mechanical and Electrical Area was established, with Engineer Francisco Javier González Hernández as the first Area Head.
