MISSION
Maintain accreditation of the educational program and achieve the consolidation of academic bodies in order to meet the demands of teaching, knowledge generation, tutoring, and management. Promote the continuous updating of the curriculum, high graduation and degree completion rates through the application of academic tutoring instruments, monitoring of academic trajectories, dissemination, and implementation of various graduation options.
Ensure infrastructure consistent with technological advances that enable the development and application of knowledge, as well as connections with the productive sector. Furthermore, promote recognition of graduates through high-performance results in the General Undergraduate Exit Exam (EGEL) and through their participation in national and international forums for scientific and technological dissemination.
VISION
The Computer Engineering Program is an accredited and inclusive undergraduate program, supported by a consolidated faculty composed of professors recognized at both national and international levels, engaged in research and technological innovation projects funded by public and private organizations.
Additionally, its graduates contribute to solving organizational information management challenges at the local, regional, national, cross-border, and international levels. They are creative, supportive, entrepreneurial, globally minded, and capable of transforming their environment with responsibility and ethical commitment, contributing to sustainable development and the advancement of science and technology in Baja California and throughout the country.
CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
The Computer Engineering degree can ideally be completed in eight semesters, divided into three stages: Basic, Disciplinary, and Terminal. In the final stage, students must choose one of four areas of emphasis: Automation, Software Engineering, Computer Networks, and Computer Systems Organization.
- Basic Stage:
- It comprises a general process of a multi- or interdisciplinary nature with a predominantly formative orientation, through the acquisition of knowledge from different disciplines. In this way, it integrates contextual, methodological, quantitative, and instrumental learning units that are essential for student training. In this stage, the Common Core Curriculum learning units are concentrated, which are shared across all study programs in the field of engineering.
- The Common Core Curriculum consists of a set of contextual, methodological, instrumental, and quantitative learning units that are essential for student training, belonging to a group of related degree programs within the same area of knowledge, and taken during the basic stage.
- The Basic Stage comprises 121 credits distributed as follows:
- 109 credits from mandatory learning units (77 of which belong to the Common Core).
- 12 credits from elective learning units.
- Disciplinary Stage:
- The student has the opportunity to acquire, deepen, and enrich the theoretical-methodological and technical knowledge of the profession, oriented toward a general learning of professional practice. At this stage, the level of knowledge is more complex and develops mainly during the intermediate periods.
- The Disciplinary Stage comprises 130 credits distributed as follows:
- 106 mandatory credits corresponding to 19 learning units.
- 30 elective credits.
- Terminal Stage:
- This stage takes place at the end of the program, in which the student selects the area of emphasis of their interest. It reinforces specific competencies through an increase in practical work and the student’s participation in the occupational field, integrating and applying acquired knowledge to strengthen related areas and distinguish the relevant aspects of techniques and procedures required by the professional profile, for problem-solving or the generation of alternatives.
- The Terminal Stage comprises 93 credits distributed as follows:
- 35 mandatory credits corresponding to 9 learning units.
- 10 mandatory credits corresponding to professional practice.
- 48 elective credits, of which 2 must correspond to a linkage project.
- There are four areas of emphasis, from which the student will choose according to their preference:
- Computer Networks: Focused on the selection and integration of computer networking technologies, following methodologies for design, installation, and configuration, in order to achieve optimal use of human and financial resources, while responsibly addressing organizational needs.
- Automation: Focused on the development of computing technology applications based on the identification of needs in production processes, to meet organizational requirements while considering social and environmental impact.
- Software Engineering: Focused on the development of computer systems, following formal methodologies to ensure process quality in a disciplined and organized manner.
- Computer Systems Organization: Focused on the management of computing technology projects, using management tools to optimize the human and financial resources involved in computing projects, with an entrepreneurial mindset.
- To complete the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering, the student must fulfill:
- 250 credits corresponding to mandatory learning units
- 10 mandatory credits from professional practice
- 90 elective credits
