We aim to form senior university technicians that, through a formation focused on developing skills, allows them to control mechatronic systems, use design CAD-CAM packages, analyze and implement digital circuits; so, through their professional exercise face with success the needs of the industrial sector; using their skills with responsibility and ethics.

The applicant for Senior University Technician in Mechatronics must be a graduate from a bivalent baccalaureate o high school bachelors that include generic competencies, basic competencies of physics and mathematics or related areas.

Within the generic competences we can mention:

• Plan the educational project in a responsible and autonomous manner
• Communicates fluidly orally and written in Spanish and proves the basic oral and written communication in a foreign language (preferably Japanese)
• Acts ethically and responsibly
• Shows an engaged and respectful attitude towards the environment and the diversity of beliefs and ideas
• Shows a civic, national and social awareness

Also, the applicant must prove to be able to use and show interest in exact sciences and productive and service processes. The areas of automation, industrial processes, instrumenting, industrial information and applied technology must be their main interest.

Finally, the student must be able to show an analytic and logic thinking and develop autonomous work.

The graduate from the TSU (for its acronym in Spanish) program in Mechatronics will be a professional with a wide vast multidisciplinary knowledge, who develops, integrates and implements technologies in different fields of engineering related to automation, robotics, manufacturing processes and industrial control processes. Maintains, operates and manages industrial processes guaranteeing quality and productivity standards in a sustainability framework.

The graduate from the TSU program in mechatronics will be capable of analyzing, integrating and developing solutions to technical problems. Possesses a comprehensive profile with skills that allow to interact with different sectors in their environment. The graduate has the capability of communicating in a second language (Japanese).
