Engineering of

The applicant for the Mechatronic Engineering program must be capable of rigorously undertaking their educational process, recognizing that they are part of a society to which they must continuously contribute. They must be capable of personal and professional growth; furthermore, they must be in a position to continuously self-evaluate and self-regulate.

In any case, it must align with the program's training purpose, showing a disposition toward basic sciences, continuous learning, and self-directed learning, with a particular interest in technology, research, and innovation; as well as being aware of the importance of having their knowledge evaluated through OERs, in order to level up and navigate the program's learning path.

Finally, the applicant is expected to be able to work in a team and communicate adequately with peers and professors, in order to receive clear and timely feedback and thus have the opportunity to improve if necessary.

This profile is always verified through the diagnostics of the institutional training field, allowing for the constant evaluation of the competencies necessary to successfully complete the learning pathway, thereby preventing early dropout from the program.

The mechatronic engineer from the University of Cundinamarca will be characterized by being an active, self-regulating subject who transforms social, political, economic, and cultural reality through the use of mathematical tools, basic sciences, and technology in the different environments in which they find themselves; achieving automated applications of truthful and ecologically reliable technology, which guarantees the development of a transhuman person who defends life and the proper use of natural resources.

The mechatronic engineer is an ethical, responsible, and skilled engineer in the basic and applied science disciplines covered by mechatronics engineering and its related fields, being capable of formulating, creating, and optimizing processes in mechanics, electronics, control, robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and clean energy, among others.

The Mechatronics Engineer from the University of Cundinamarca will be an active and transforming subject in the development of their profession, will be capable of facing the challenges of changing technology in solving problems within their discipline, and will contribute, together with other professionals, to the technological and economic development of their environment. This will be achieved through acquired knowledge in the design and improvement of mechatronic prototypes using emerging technologies, and the automation of processes in small, medium, and large-scale organizations. They will be prepared to apply basic knowledge in the formulation, evaluation, and management of projects developed through the components of Industry 4.0.

• Design engineer: Innovate in solving problems or situations that arise in the industry through mechanical, electronic, and computational design.
