DESCRIPTION
- Justification
Veracruz is a state that, starting in 2020, has developed growth expectations, having begun the construction of the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT), as a driver project for economic growth and development for the southern part of the state. Another major project is the one announced by the company Nestlé, which plans to invest 154 million pesos for a production center in this state, generating more than 12,000 direct and indirect jobs, all while boosting the agri-food sector.
In addition to these projects, the economy is being driven through other sectors, and in them, it is essential to have professionals in various areas, but with sufficient knowledge of statistics, resource management, information handling, systems analysis, and identification of potential problems (Secretariat of Finance and Planning, 2020). It is also essential to consider that the evolution of the labor field, with respect to technology, is changing everything from consumer habits to the way goods and services are produced and marketed. The above also requires highly trained individuals with a research profile, capable of leading improvement and reengineering projects that allow for the updating of current companies and the emergence of organizations under this technological scheme.
Under this perspective, current globalization demands that companies, institutions, and other productive organizations continuously use strategies to position and increase their competitiveness in the market, offer high-quality products and/or services that allow them to maintain customer loyalty and expand their production and marketing networks.
Reliability engineering and probabilistic safety analysis are tools used in different types of productive organizations, allowing them to ensure quality in the functioning of each and every activity of the processes, including industrial safety. This is one of the main tools that will be provided to quality engineers during their professional training. For the reasons stated above, the Master’s degree in Quality Engineering responds to a social need in the State of Veracruz for highly trained and certified professionals.
- Mission
The Master’s Degree in Quality Engineering from the Faculty of Chemical Sciences, of the Universidad Veracruzana’s mission is to train highly qualified human resources. specialized, with professional ethics and the ability to provide solutions to multiple problems in terms of quality and in the field of production presented by productive organizations.
- Vision
By 2028, to be a leading graduate program in the area of Quality Engineering at a national level due to the solid academic formation of its graduates, as well as their ability to solve problems in the different productive sectors.
- Goals
The goals set in the Master’s Degree are:
- That at least 50% of the students per generation carry out academic and professional internships in external institutions for the promotion of mobility.
- That 100% of the students propose innovative projects in the face of new knowledge and technological advances.
- Achieve terminal efficiency per generational cohort of at least 70%.
- That 100% of the students have at least one scientific product in each of the LGAC in which they are associated in the program, together with the academic staff (NAB).
- Link the educational program with companies in the region, so that 100% of their students apply the knowledge acquired.
- Review and/or update 100% of the course content annually.
