This Postgraduate diploma will address, first of all, project management, which is a discipline of knowledge associated with large industrial projects, with which it is possible to systematize and optimize the execution of tasks. This is an area that has not ceased to be perfected and is, today, more relevant than ever.

The growing complexity of projects, together with the scarcity of resources and the agility in the changes demanded by society require specialized professionals in the field of project management. In this sense, this profession has experienced in recent years a greater growth and has become one of the most demanded by companies and organizations to manage change.

On the other hand, the program will delve into everything related to product design and development, which is one of the great challenges that every company faces. 
The main objective is to achieve a product 

that satisfies the needs of the consumer, using as few resources as possible The needs of the end user must be the initial inputs to define the specifications. Therefore, the Postgraduate diploma will delve into the need to manage proper teamwork and the use of techniques and methodologies that help the generation of end-user-oriented solutions so that the products and services generated provide value to people.

In the same way, the student will be instructed in everything related to the design process of a product. This will cover everything from 3D construction, definition of materials and design verification, to the development of prototypes to help improve the design. In this order, it will continue with the development of the manufacturing process of all the necessary tools for its manufacture, assembly and control and, finally, with the validation with the realization of tests and dimensional analysis to ensure the quality of the final product and its implementation in manufacturing. All this, without forgetting the change management that includes the analysis and reduction of variability, as well as the use of lessons learned and tested practices to help improve the performance of the final product.
