The faculty of engineering is organized in
divisions (somewhat the equivalent of departments), each under the direct supervision of a
Head of division. These are themselves coordinated and supervised by the faculty dean, currently José Antonio Hernández Spriú. •
Fundamental Science Division (DCB): Is in charge of subjects such as physics and mathematics, every student has to take one or more subjects of this department, specially during the first 4 semesters. These subjects on
fundamental science are then common to all students and are often regarded as the most difficult among all. •
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Division (DIMEI): In charge of the majors in the name, is the contact between the school and the industry, there are some programs for young
entrepreneurial and some courses that may resemble a BA program in
US. •
Civil and Geomatic Engineering Division (DICyG) The civil Engineering division is one of the oldest divisions and has great prestige. Many famous researchers, and business leaders, such as
Carlos Slim have studied in this division. •
Electrical Engineering Division (DIE): The Electric Engineering Division is in charge of three different bachelor's degrees: Electric Engineering, Computer Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering. It is the biggest division by number of students, as the degrees it offers have a high employment rate. This division, especially the computer engineering department, has established many on-going collaborations with industry and academia, such as:
Google,
Intel,
IBM,
Oracle,
Telmex,
Microsoft,
Carnegie Mellon University,
UC Berkeley,
Stanford, and
Wikimedia Foundation. The DIE has a head chair that coordinates these different departments. The current chair is Alejandro Velázquez Mena. Each department also has its own chair and coordinator. The department with most students, faculty and infrastructure is the Computer Engineering department, whose current coordinator is PhD Rocío Alejandra Aldeco Pérez. •
Earth Sciences Engineering (DICT): This division is organizes the Mining, Petroleum, Geophysics and Geology Engineering bachelor Programs. Is one of the oldest divisions in the school and currently has some joint programs with
PEMEX among other petroleum companies. •
Distance and Continuing Education Division: As the name implies, this division is in charge of courses and diplomas for active professionals who wish to stay up to date with current technological trends or wish to stay in contact with the academic community in some way other than the conventional graduate programs. •
Social Sciences and Humanities Division (DCSyH): In charge of cultural activities and some subjects, such as literature, ethics and history. ==Graduate programs==
