Energy Engineering graduates will be able to develop in areas such as design, operation, distribution and management of renewable and fossil fuels, applying efficient and sustainable technologies. Furthermore, graduates are committed to strive and serve society and improve our world.
The program leading to a B.S. degree in Energy Engineering at UDLAP guides, nurtures, and prepare students to become alumni who within five years after graduation are expected to achieve one or more of the following milestones:

PEO # 1: Career

Work as professionals within engineering or related areas, and/or participate in research and development in science, engineering, technology and entrepreneurship.

PEO #2: Practice

Practice Energy Engineering in the design, improvement or implementation of processes within their organization labor.

PEO #3: Continuous Learning

Continually expand their skill-set and knowledge, if required, through independent study or high-level training such as professional certifications or graduate degrees.

PEO #4: Leadership & Professional Engagement

Achieve and maintain positions of influence with relevant impact in their organizations, demonstrating professional engagement, ethical and social responsibility.

As a graduate from the Bachelor of Energy Engineering you will be able to evaluate, adapt, and design the processes that create, distribute, and manage energy. Your work will be carried out within a legal framework, applying efficient and sustainable technologies that use primary sources of energy, both fossil and renewable, and secondary sources such as electricity and fuel, supplying solutions for the industry’s and society’s energy needs.
Once you have finished your study program, you will have a bachelor´s degree in addition to a licenciatura degree. Therefore, your studies will be recognized worldwide.

In addition to enhancing your entry skills, at the Licenciatura in Energy Engineering we propose to:

• Teach you to select the lowest environmental impact energy technologies, identifying their effects to specify solutions that respect the environment.
• Help you to perceive the socioeconomic impacts of energy technologies, using ethical criteria to specify solutions that benefit society.
• Train you in planning professional updating strategies through the use of self-learning tools to always be on the vanguard of your profession.
• Encourage you to act with sensibility, considering the social and ethical aspects of energy project decision-making.

• Basic knowledge of mathematics and sciences.
• Curiosity for learning, science, production and exploitation of energy resources.
• Willing to work for the common welfare and strive to success.
• Vision to accomplish goals through learning.

Energy Engineering graduates will have developed the following skills:

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 of public 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 (oral & written).
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.
