Introduction
Geeks are just one code away
Computers, smartphones, tablets… These devices have changed the lives of millions of people over the past few years, modifying their day-to-day activities with transformations that will never stop. This implies an exciting invitation for you to face these challenges by designing computer applications for a variety of fields, such as science, technology, engineering, and business, as well as for personal and daily use.
The three stages of the model
1. Exploration
- You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
- You will learn the foundations of the area of the Built Environment.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Built Environment, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
- You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
- You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
2. Focus
- You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
- You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
- You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
- The Tec Weeks, challenges, and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
3. Specialization
- You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply on your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
- You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests, and plans.
- By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
How can you specialize?
Concentrations
Specialize in one of the different concentrations available at the campus of your choice, according to the profile you would like to develop.
Internships
Internships allow you to participate in the development of specific projects with companies, organizations, or research groups, in a context of total immersion related to a specialty field. They can be carried out locally, nationally or internationally.
International experiences
Experience life outside Mexico to broaden your horizons and delve into the topics of your interest.
Courses or blocks
Choose the education units that best adapt to your objectives, enabling you to specialize in your specific interests.
