4.1 JUSTIFICACIÓN
The General Institutional Development Plan 2002-2005 of BUAP is a
product of the institutional vision, in which it is proposed to consolidate the foundations for
future of the University based on the important movements generated in its
interior; the stage that BUAP is currently living represents a new era
university: the transformation of the Institution into a true open stage for
dialogue where ideas are discussed in a plural and tolerant climate, which gives
response to the complexity of the current social and educational phenomenon from diverse
perspectives.
The General Development Plan reaffirms the role in promotion and
production of scientific, humanistic, and technological knowledge as a way to
contribute to the development of human potential, in such a way that the

Organization and Academic Model, Institutional Economics, University Management
of Quality and Interaction with Society.
For our Academic Unit, it is pertinent to design a curriculum

transcendental of the high demand from the industry for professionals with
knowledge in Mechanics, Electronics, and Computing. The region of Puebla with
neighboring states are projected to become a zone of high industrialization in the years
upcoming, with projects like the grand vision plan, for example, that promote the
placement of maquiladora plants and for which qualified personnel is necessary
to carry out the functions of installation, maintenance, operation and
conditioning of industrial machinery.
Under this context, the Mechatronics degree at the Faculty of Sciences

At the national level, BUAP is a focal point for students from other states.
such as Oaxaca, Tlaxcala, Veracruz, etc. for this reason the training of personnel
Qualified for the industry is crucial for the development of such states.
With all of the above and in addition to the prestige of the Faculty, the Mechatronics degree
positions itself as a valuable alternative for society and the industry of Puebla and
neighboring states.
Without a doubt, the plurality of educational offerings in the region will generate resources
as well as an increasingly intense competition; professionals and specialists

In the sixth government report of Lic. Melquíades Morales, it is reported4:

As a result of the promotion carried out during 2004, 21 new companies were established in the

opening of renowned universities around the capital city. Within the
state educational offer we can indicate that the majority of universities
privately offer the degree in Mechatronics Engineering, being a clear
indicator of the growing demand that this career represents. In the following

 It is worth noting that of the four public higher education institutions
from the State of Puebla, only the Technological University offers a career in
Mechatronics but at a technical level. The lack of offer on the part of the
public education institutions create a gap in the supply, forcing the
students to consider other Majors or Universities.
On the other hand, the demand for engineering careers remains significant.

4.1.3 Capabilities of the Staff

The mission of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla is based on
recognition and understanding of its history, of the precise knowledge of the new
demands and proposals that the contemporary world incorporates; proposes the
strengthening and enrichment of an attitude and aptitude for the University; the
review and necessary academic transformation towards continuous improvement always with
a long-term vision, reflected in all of the above in a new model of
Public university that supports the defense, strengthening, and enrichment of
scientific-humanistic development, its autonomy, democracy, identity, and legality.
In this context is located the Faculty of Electronics Sciences, which is
a public higher education institution of a scientific nature belonging to

Our Faculty of Electronics only offers two programs, one at the level of
bachelor's degree and another at the Master's level. The Accreditation Council for Teaching
of Engineering (CACEI) agreed to grant accreditation to our Program of the
Bachelor's degree in Electronics for a period of 5 years starting from February 1st
2004, by virtue of having met the requirements that guarantee a task
high-quality academic. In 2002, the Master's in Automation obtained the
entry into the Comprehensive Postgraduate Strengthening Program (PIFOP), such
membership was ratified with the evaluation applied to said program in 2004,
being among the best evaluated within our University.
Our Academic Faculty has 74 teachers of which, 56 are from

4.8 COURSE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECTS

We adopt cutting-edge global learning paradigms that
they are focused on creating the appropriate conditions to develop students
critics and independents, moving from the paradigm "the teacher teaches" to that of "the
student learns", and in a presentation of concepts and information through the
the greatest possible number of meanings, which leads to an increase in the use of techniques of
multimedia exhibition and activities and spaces related to support for
self-learning, where the teacher is an efficient facilitator of methods and
learning environments that promote teamwork along with the
students to develop the ability to learn and for the student to acquire each
more often by himself the knowledge, attitudes, and values that define the profile of
outcome of our Curriculum.
