Presentation of the program

The Environmental Engineering is concerned with the study and protection of the natural processes (physical, chemical and biological) that maintain the balance of ecosystems, as well as the prevention and control of environmental pollution caused by human activities. With its solutions, it contributes to maintaining the planet's capacity to sustain itself and to guarantee a better quality of life for the present generation of tomorrow.

The name of the program corresponds assertively with its curricular contents such as the training purpose, competencies and profiles, as well as with its curriculum where it is evident that 23.6% of the subjects are aimed at training students in Basic Sciences, 20% in Basic Engineering Sciences, 43.6 % in Applied Engineering and 12.7 % in Complementary Training. In addition, students must certify proficiency in a second language to ensure communicative skills in a foreign language in the context of a globalized world.

Finally, the subjects studied in the Environmental Engineering Program generate in our students not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also the development of their competencies, which allow them to build their own criteria in real situations.
