The Mechanical Engineering program of the Faculty of Engineering, UASLP, was created in 1983, as an option to prepare students interested in mechanics as an engineering discipline. The objective is to provide society with a mechanical engineering professional of the highest level, capable of integrating into society in a dignified and effective manner. This professional will apply their knowledge and skills to find effective solutions to technical problems of any kind, but which present a solution based on a mechanical principle.

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Program is to prepare Mechanical Engineering professionals of the highest level, capable of integrating into society in a dignified and effective way, applying their knowledge and skills to find effective solutions to mechanical problems.

The main objective of the Mechanical Engineering program is the training of professionals of the highest level, capable of integrating into society in a dignified and efficient manner. This professional will apply their knowledge and skills to find effective solutions to technical problems of any kind, so that they present a solution based on a Mechanical Principle.

Desirable characteristics in the student:

• Capability, interest and precision work into physical and natural sciences.
• Able to be a good observer and to analyze and explain the meaning of natural phenomena.
• Creativity and imagination development to solve problems.
• High desire to contribute into problems solution to benefit society.
• Take advantage to use time wisely.
• A high attitude for personal improvement and self confident.
• To work under pressure.
• Persistency, tenacity and optimism.
• Group work capability.
• Determination to make decisions.

The Mechanical Engineeringprogram will allow its graduates:

1. Find effective solutions to technical problems related to mechanical systems, taking into account the restrictions on economic costs, materials and technology.
2. Design, manufacture, install, operate and maintain mechanical systems in production and service companies and institutions.
3. Direct, organize, develop, coordinate and control production and quality processes.
4. Effectively manage human, technical, material and financial resources to achieve the objectives of the company or institution.

It is expected that a few years after graduation, a Mechanical Engineer graduated from the College of Engineering of the UASLP:

1. Mechanical Engineering graduates generate effective solutions to solve problems in mechanical systems, taking into account economic factors of materials and technology.
2. Mechanical Engineering graduates direct the processes of planning, design, manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance of mechanical systems in companies and institutions of goods and services to meet their specific needs, with ethics, social and environmental responsibility.
3. Mechanical Engineering graduates actively lead transdisciplinary teams for decision-making in the areas of design, project development, manufacturing, maintenance, and quality.
4. Mechanical Engineering graduates maintain their professional update with the help of courses, diplomas and postgraduate studies in both national and international institutions.

As a result of their Mechanical Engineering studies at the College of Engineering, graduates are expected to have the following capabilities:

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
