Institutional Mission:

The University Institution of Barranquilla - IUB, is a Public Higher Education Institution, committed to the training of autonomous, creative, entrepreneurial, ethical, responsible individuals with a sustainable vision, in a competency-based education model that addresses the needs of the environment in a global context.

The University Institution of Barranquilla provides high-quality education to all students and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Consistently, the Faculty of Engineering has worked to demonstrate this quality through both national and international accreditations.

The faculty includes three undergraduate programs: Mechatronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Telematics Engineering.

 

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING:

Program Educational Objectives

At the end of five (5) years in their professional practice, graduates of the Industrial Engineering program are expected to meet the following educational objectives of the program:

• OBJECTIVE AS AN INDIVIDUAL

The graduate of the program will communicate effectively and assertively, participate or lead in interdisciplinary teams in collaborative work environments, set goals, identify and recognize the qualities of individuals to achieve the objectives established by strengthening the entrepreneurial spirit. (related to SO3 and SO5)

• OBJECTIVE AS AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER

The graduate of the program will design, plan and implement strategies to optimize and innovate processes, applying methodologies, tools, techniques and new technologies in order to generate solutions to complex engineering problems, contributing to continuous improvement and organizational learning. (related to SO1, SO6 and SO7)

• OBJECTIVE AS AN ENGINEER IN SOCIETY

The graduate of the program, considering ethical and legal aspects in the exercise of their profession, will propose solutions to problems, needs and opportunities in the environment, which generate positive changes and transformations in the economic, social, cultural, environmental, safety, public health and welfare context. (related to SO2 and SO4)

Student Outcomes

Graduates are expetected to be able to demonstrate:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration ofpublic health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
