The Industrial Engineering program of the NAVARRA UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION -UNINAVARRA- is structured on the basis of two training components, the basic (semesters I, II, III, IV and V) and the 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 then makes explicit a greater training in the subject 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. Likewise, 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 of subjects and promoting teaching and learning processes for both students and teachers that allow interdisciplinary views of the objects of study, allow students to play a leading role in the process of knowledge construction, develop autonomous work strategies and result in the construction of a research culture.
