The degree in Sustainable Chemical Engineering is designed to be offered from graduates from high schools with a special preference on the use of natural and exact or chemical-biological sciences to modify and improve their ambience. In addition, the knowledge they have previously acquired, is desirable that the applicants show some of the following characteristics: Taste for ordered and systematic observation. Critic spirit. Desire of globalizations and synthesis. Non-dogmatic and open mind posture. Curiosity for science and technology’s progress in general. Preferable profile of enrollment: Knowledge in: sets, algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, notions of differential and integral calculus, basic knowledge of general culture. Skills: reading and comprehension, capability of abstraction, logical reasoning, analysis and synthesis. Attitudes: enthusiasm and scientific curiosity, taste for rigor and precision, critic spirit, interest to work in teams, taste for invention, creativity, technology and values.

The graduate profile covers four groups of specific competences: cognitive, methodological, instrumental and labor-social. The generic competencies or transversal, are part of the essence of the University, will be obtained through everyday life, uses and customs and through extracurricular activities that organize for this purpose. The orientation of the program will continue being scientific-practical, potentiating the graduate profile in acquiring the four specific competences the current plan has: cognitive, methodological, instrumental and labor-social, in the same way its design was conceived. In addition, in document a central element is added, that will accompany all the students of the University of Guanajuato: the acquisition of generic competencies in an explicit manner where the sensitization of the social responsibility, learning for life, strengthening of the links with other academic and industrial sectors who address the complexity of modern societies; are all those recognized as part of the everyday in the professional formation. Specific competencies: Cognitive. Shows a deep comprehension of the fundamental concepts and principles of Physics & Chemistry (thinking that mathematics is a tool). Seeks, interprets and uses bibliographic information in English and Spanish. Knows and comprehends the conceptual development of Chemical Engineering in historical and epistemological terms. Analyzes systems using balances of matter and energy. Simulates and integrates processes and industrial operations. Specifies equipment and installations for different reagents, intermediaries and products. Knowledge of automatization and control. Compares and selects technical alternatives. Establishes the economic viability of a project. Evaluates and implements criteria of safety and quality. Applies tools to plan and optimize. Makes applied research (innovation of technology and use emerging technologies). Applies tools and processes to protect the environment. Methodological and Instrumental. Plans, analyzes and solves physical, chemical and physic-chemical problems both experimental, by using analytic, experimental or numeric methods. Applies the theoretic knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Physic-Chemistry in engineering projects. Uses and elaborates programs or computing systems for the processing of information, numeric calculus, simulation of processes or experiment control. Shows experimental dexterities and use of adequate models to work in the laboratory. Specific labor and social. Participated in professional activities related with high level technologies, be that in the laboratory or industry plant. Shows necessary work habits to develop the profession such as teamwork, scientific rigor, self-learning, persistence and creativity. Capability to apply knowledges of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to the conception, design, implementation, operation, evaluation and control of systems, components or chemical processes, conducting experiments, analysis and interpretation of referred data to Chemical engineering or one of its specific technological areas: transport phenomena, kinetic, reactors, dynamic of processes, transport phenomena and design of materials. Capability to identify, formulate, solve complex and open problems from Chemical Engineering, fulfilling the technical and legal specifications demanded by the context and considering economic, environmental, social and ethical. Domain of modern techniques and tools necessary for the exercise of the profession, proving capability of analyzing and understand the relations between technology and organizations. Capacity to recognize and incorporate the demands of the context in the conceptualization, design, implementation, operation and control of systems, equipment and chemical processes, through the direction and projection of the facilities and equipment of the Chemical industry branch where she/he performs (organic, synthesis, pharmaceutical, tanning, polymers, etc.). Specially trained to act, make and direct all kind of studies, works and organisms in the industrial, economic, chemical, statistic, social and labor spheres.

In the valid syllabus, you graduate of the program when you comprehensively complete the total number of credits. Given that the Professional Social Service does not offer any credits to the syllabus, this is not a requirement to graduate. It is proposed to graduate under the same scheme of the current plan, this is, have concluded the total amount of mandatory and optional credits of the syllabus. With this, the graduate could then request the total certificate of studies.

Total number of credits of the Educational Program: 234 credits.
