Mechatronics Engineering has become an indispensable aspect for institutions. This is due to its interdisciplinary character: it fosters innovation in Mechanics, Computer Science and Electronics. To this end, it focuses on analyzing aspects such as the different sensors, the operation of manufacturing processes and the use of industrial machines. The truth is that, as industry moves towards the era of intelligent manufacturing, this field is consolidating, allowing better efficiency goals to be achieved. 

In view of this, TECH has devised a study program that delves into the different components that regulate the operation of a machine or mechatronic system. Specifically, the program covers different types of sensors (presence, position, temperature and physical variables), as well as actuators (electric, pneumatic and hydraulic). In turn, it delves into those bearings, springs and connecting elements that are indispensable, paying special attention to the criteria for their selection and application in specific equipment. 

Next, the academic itinerary describes the basics of automation required in this branch of engineering. Through its academic modules, emphasis is placed on PLC programming, continuous controls by means of regulators, axes, among others. Finally, students are provided with a comprehensive analysis of how these complex machines are inserted in industries and how to ensure their safe implementation.
