Specialty in Industrial Technologies
This specialization is mandatory for students coming from a specialist degree.
The Industrial Technologies specialization is studied entirely in the first year of the master's program in order to allow students to acquire the knowledge and skills they will need in the second year.
First year
There are several pathways that adapt the first year of the master's program to the industrial technology training required by the student based on their entry level. The required courses in the specialization (dark gray) are adapted to the university master's program format (with a more practical focus) and aim to enable the student to be a user of other areas of industrial engineering.
In general, students must take one elective course in their chosen specialization (light gray) from among the other specializations within the master's program that does not correspond to their undergraduate degree ( for example, a student with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering may take one elective course from specializations 1-10, except for specialization 6, as that is Electrical Engineering ). If a student is exempt from taking one of the required courses in their specialization (dark gray) because they have already passed the content in their undergraduate degree, they must complete the corresponding credits with additional elective courses in their specialization (light gray), with the same restrictions applying to the selection of these courses.
In addition, he will also have generalist subjects that will complement his training in industrial engineering.
The most common cases are presented below. Specific pathways exist for students from the GITI-US 2010 program ( link ). Situations not covered here will be reviewed by the Master's Academic Committee.
Important : Depending on the curriculum of the original degree, the student may have already passed some of the courses in their specialization within Industrial Technologies. In that case, the Master's Academic Committee will inform the student of the need to take additional elective courses in the specialization to complete the total of 35 credits.
Second year
The second year of the master's program is common to all students regardless of the path followed in the first year.
Students will apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the first year (core courses) in the courses Product Design in Industry, Industrial Process Design I and II, and Integrated Industrial Plant Project. In these courses, they will participate in multidisciplinary groups with students from other specialized degrees, as well as with students from the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering. The methodology for these courses is project-based learning.
In addition, he will also have generalist subjects that will complement his training in industrial engineering.
