Mechatronics is the convergence of mechanical, electronic, computer and automation engineering, for the design, integration and implementation of advanced systems. Examples of this are robots (manipulator arms, land, air and water vehicles, humanoids,...), automatic processes, smart appliances, electronic medical equipment, etc.

The Mechatronics Engineering career was born as a natural response to the demands imposed by current technology, which requires multidisciplinary knowledge. It was established in the UASLP Faculty of Engineering in 2007 and has grown rapidly. This program has one of the highest demands and the selection criteria for applicants are rigorous. The faculty that supports this program includes professors and academic researchers affiliated with the National System of Researchers (SNI). They have extensive and proven experience both in the teaching and industrial fields in the different disciplines that Mechatronics comprises.

Incorporated into the Register of High Performance Degree Courses-EGEL.

Integral education of professionals in Mechatronics Engineering, competitive and innovative, as well as research and cutting-edge technological development for the benefit of society.

Provide society with a professional in Mechatronics with the multidisciplinary knowledge to design and develop high-tech machines, equipment, processes or consumer products, with the ability to analyze and interpret information, adapt in multidisciplinary team work, communicate effectively, in addition to proposing engineering solutions in a global context, as well as assuming leadership roles and responsibilities. All this related to electronic, mechanical, computer and control and automation systems.

• Facility and interest in applied mathematics and physics.
• Ability to observe and interpret to model and manipulate (control) natural phenomena.
• Creativity, imagination and scientific curiosity.
• Motivation and ability to acquire multidisciplinary knowledge (automation, mechanics, electronics and computing).
• Permanent attitude of self-improvement.
• Ability to work individually and in a group.
• Interest in developing technological solutions for the benefit of society.

Graduates of this course will have a solid background in the basic sciences that make up mechatronics. A mechatronics engineer graduated from the Faculty of Engineering of the UASLP will be able to:

• Design and develop intelligent processes and/or products that involve one or more of the disciplines that make up mechatronics.
• Select, integrate and propose large-scale, low-cost and sustainable technological solutions.
• Develop and use computer programs for applications in automation of machinery and industrial processes.

It is expected that a few years after starting his professional career, the graduates of the Mechatronics Engineering program of the UASLP will be able to:

1. Work in a field related to Mechatronics showing domain in theoretical and practical aspects for the solution of problems in the field of Engineering.
2. Assume leadership roles, communicate effectively, participate in multidisciplinary teams and in decision-making.
3. Recognize the social responsibility in the exercise of their profession.
4. Maintain a permanent interest in the development and improvement of their professional skills.

As a result of studying Mechatronics Engineering at the School 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.
