Joint curriculum itinerary for the double degree

  1. Description. A curriculum itinerary is proposed to jointly study the University Master's Degrees in Industrial Engineering (MII) and in Advanced Design in Mechanical Engineering (MDAIM), based on the complementarity between both degrees.
  2. Purpose. The completion of the program leads to obtaining the two qualifications that comprise it.
  3. The teaching program has the following characteristics: In summary, the following table schematically shows the list of subjects to be taken for each Master's degree.
    1. The elective module (30 credits) of the Master's in Industrial Engineering will be completed using courses from the Master's in Advanced Design in Mechanical Engineering. This option is listed in the Master's in Industrial Engineering program description. The specific list of courses to be taken is as follows, from which 6 will be chosen:
      • Biomechanics
      • The Method of Boundary Elements
      • Nonlinear Continuous Media Mechanics
      • Materials Engineering
      • Experimental Methods in Mechanical Engineering
      • Advanced Fluid Mechanics
      • Fundamentals and Simulation of Manufacturing Processes
      • Application of Computational Methods to Mechanical Design
      • Multibody System Dynamics
      • Advanced Fracture and Fatigue Mechanics
      • Advanced Materials Mechanics
    2. The subject “Entrepreneurship”, worth 3 credits, is common to both master's degrees, so only the one corresponding to the Master in Advanced Design in Mechanical Engineering will be taken.
    3. The remaining compulsory subjects will be taken during the Master's in Industrial Engineering.
    4. The remaining compulsory subjects will be taken as part of the Master's in Advanced Design in Mechanical Engineering.
    5. Additionally, it is important to note that the Master's in Industrial Engineering includes a Bridging Block, comprised of courses designed to ensure that all students in the Industrial Engineering program (which consists of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering plus the Master's in Industrial Engineering) acquire the same competencies, regardless of their undergraduate degree. These courses, which are part of the elective module of the Master's in Industrial Engineering, must be taken, if deemed necessary by the Master's Academic Committee, in addition to the 147 credits of the double Master's program as supplementary training. They are as follows:
      • Complements to Rational Mechanics
      • Numerical Methods
      • Heat Transfer Accessories
      • Manufacturing Technology Add-ons
      • Electrical Technology Accessories
      • Mathematics applied to Engineering


In summary, the following table schematically shows the list of subjects to be taken for each Master's degree.

Table of Subjects for the Double Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering (MII) and Advanced Design in Mechanical Engineering (MDAIM) | ETSI

  1. Number of credits for the program. The total number of credits for the double Master's degree is 147.
  2. Admission. Admission requirements will include meeting both the MII and MDAIM admission requirements. The respective Academic Committees will retain authority over candidate evaluation and the establishment of supplementary training and leveling courses as outlined in the verification reports. The MII leveling courses will be considered supplementary training for the dual Master's degree; that is, while they are included within the 120 credits of the MII degree, they will be taken in addition to the 147 credits of the dual Master's degree.
  3. Recommended entry profile. The double degree program is geared towards students with prior undergraduate training in Mechanical Engineering and graduates in Industrial Technology Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical-Machines, Mechanical-Construction and Materials.
  4. Places offered. Initially, 10 places are planned for this dual itinerary, a number that may be modified in subsequent courses depending on demand.
  5. Teaching organization.
    1. Groups. The MII courses will be taken concurrently with students pursuing that degree. Similarly, the MDAIM courses will be taught concurrently with students pursuing that degree. The timetable for these master's programs will be designed to avoid any scheduling conflicts for the dual degree.
    2. Academic bodies. Each degree will be managed by its corresponding Academic Committee, which, in relation to admission to studies and the specification of the Leveling Block for each student, will act in a coordinated manner.
    3. Course schedule. The following tables show the schedule for the different subjects, indicating: This table does not show the supplementary subjects that the Academic Committee will assign individually to each student.
      • Green: Subjects to be studied in the MII.
      • Blue: Subjects to be studied at the MDAIM.
      • Red: Common subjects.
