Vision
8. Uses the new and traditional methods and research techniques for the development of their academic work, practice of his profession and the generation of
knowledge.
In the year 2020 the materials engineering undergraduate program will be internationally
recognized due to its quality and its important contribution to human, scientific, technological,
sustainable and innovative development, focusing on learning and development of
competencies within the different areas of science and materials engineering.
Mission
To train engineers and teach them the attitudes and values promoted by UANL, and ensure that
they acquire the knowledge and competencies necessary to understand and use the different
processes of synthesis, characterization and processing of materials. Likewise, this program
encourages a reflexive, critical, innovative, humanist, entrepreneurial and leadership attitude in
graduates, enabling them to work with multi- and interdisciplinary groups on the synthesis and
application of innovative materials that contribute to the solution of problems, create competitive
advantages in the industrial and service sector, and favor the acquisition of high quality
materials, according to needs, devoting great attention to social, environmental, economic, and
