Presentation of the program
The Industrial Engineering program of the NAVARRA UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION -UNINAVARRA- is structured on the basis of two training components: basic (semesters I, II, III, IV and V) and professionalization (semesters VI, VII, VIII, IX and X), and five areas: basic sciences, basic engineering sciences, applied engineering, humanities and social sciences, and the complementary area; with 54 subjects and 163 academic credits, structure based on the training demands of the industrial engineer.
This program proposes a training that aims to develop skills and abilities in students in the management of productivity and business logistics. Therefore, it proposes a curriculum that contributes to this training and differentiates it from other curricula.
The curriculum, therefore, explicitly provides more training in the areas of productivity and logistics. To this end, it offers three production courses and two business logistics courses during the professionalization component, in semesters VII to IX. Similarly, the topic of productivity appears as a transversal element in all the other subjects of the professional component.
The curricular structure proposed for the program also makes it distinctive with respect to others offered in the region, in the way it builds meaning from the needs detected in the environment, translated into research questions that allow establishing a dialogue between subjects and promote teaching and learning processes for both students and teachers, allowing interdisciplinary views of the objects of study, which allow students to play a leading role in the process of knowledge construction, develop strategies for autonomous work and result in the construction of a research culture.
To provide society with integrally trained engineers, committed to the industrial development of the region and the country, for the growth and prosperity of their environment.
UNINAVARRA's Industrial Engineering program will be positioned professionally by the academic and human quality of its graduates, who will permanently demonstrate their capacity for work and leadership.
Thus, the conditions of the Industrial Engineering Program of the Navarra University Foundation - UNINAVARRA are consistent with the institutional typology, identity, mission and vision; it is also consistent with the modality of its offerings.

The graduate of the Industrial Engineering program, at the end of the training process, will be able to:
- Design and implement solutions to production problems of goods or services, based on methods and techniques of flexible production systems, to increase productivity.
- To formulate research projects aimed at optimizing production systems and resources used to improve competitiveness.
- Integrate quality systems techniques, tools and knowledge into process design, according to the organizational context, to evaluate and monitor process performance.
- To guide and apply the knowledge of engineering, socio-humanistic sciences and basic sciences, integrating them for the design, planning, management, optimization and control of production systems of goods and services involving human resources, processes, financial, technical, time, information and material resources, in order to contribute as an agent of productivity improvement, which is the fundamental objective of the company.
- Contribute to the socioeconomic development of the region and the country, actively participating in the solution of problems within the organizations, seeking to make them highly competitive.
- Perform management and control activities in areas of the company such as Production, Quality, Administration, Human Resources, Logistics and Research and Development.
Professional profile
The professional of the Industrial Engineering program is the person who, after finishing his or her degree, can work in the field of operations management, supply chain management, project formulation, evaluation and administration, marketing management, and administrative and financial management in any type of company.
According to the curriculum, the Industrial Engineering graduate will be able to:
- To become entrepreneurs by creating their own technology-based company.
- Assume operational and managerial positions in engineering areas of companies.
- Participate in data analytics teams in public and private entities.
- Assume positions in logistics areas in industries of multiple sectors.
- Work as an analyst for decision support in public and private entities.
- Participate in engineering projects in various fields.
- To act as advisor and/or consultant in procedures involving his line of action in projects and undertakings.
In addition, he/she will be able to work as:
- Production Manager.
- Logistics Manager.
- Quality Manager.
- General Manager.
- Cost Director.
- Purchasing Manager.
- Entrepreneur of his own company.
- Professional in charge of production planning and start-up in manufacturing companies.
- Manager, coordinator or director of Quality in companies of different productive sectors of the country.
- Human Resources manager, coordinator or director.
- Operations coordinator or director in service sector companies.
- Coordinator or logistics manager in companies of the transportation sector.
- Manager, coordinator or director of investment and research projects.
Based on these approaches and in accordance with the demands and requirements of the State, the Navarra University Foundation - UNINAVARRA orients the Industrial Engineering program towards the development of competencies that define the professional profile of the graduate for the realization of their life project and their field of action. The professional has the ability to respond to specific labor needs, guaranteeing real present and future opportunities for work performance, by contributing to the solution of needs and problems of socioeconomic and cultural development. In addition, it has a proven technical, technological and scientific actuality in its contents, and is in line with the philosophy of the Institution, where the subjects that make up the curriculum are relevant, appropriate and contribute to the formation of the professional profile of the academic program.
This makes it evident that there is a direct relationship between the professional, graduation and occupational profile and the name of the program, which has not been modified, but is maintained precisely because it is relevant in the current scenario of education and industry.

Mathematics in 3D: From Algebra to Reality
We are proud to present the project Mathematics in 3D: From Algebra to Realityan innovative initiative designed for tenth-grade students at the Intitution Educativa El Limonar . This project aims at integrating advanced mathematical concepts with the technology of 3D printing The program allows students to transform abstract knowledge into tangible and meaningful models.
Throughout this experience, the students apply concepts from geometry, algebra and trigonometry to design and fabricate three-dimensional models that represent complex mathematical principles. This hands-on approach not only strengthens their mathematical skills, but also develops their creativity and understanding of technology.
We congratulate all the students who participated in this project, demonstrating how innovation and education can come together to transform learning. With "Mathematics in 3D", we take a step towards teaching mathematics in an interactive and future-oriented way.
