Development
The Mechanical-Electrical Program is divided into areas as follows:
Basic Area – This area includes all the basic science and mathematics courses as well as an engineering introduction. All the courses in this area are obligatory.
Compulsory courses in the major area –These are basic engineering science courses common to all the subsystems (minors) of the Mechanical-Electrical
Engineering program.
Optional courses–This is a list of courses from which the student is required to choose a minimum of two in order to complete the degree requirements. These
also fall into the category of basic engineering science but are not considered essential in the preparation of the student. For this reason the student is given
some latitude in the choice of courses in this area although he/she must make this choice from the offerings provided by the department.
Integration (humanistic and social science) courses – Each student is required to pass a minimum of six of these courses in order to complete the requirements
for the degreee. Currently two of these courses are specified as obligatory for all undergraduate students of the university and four others are chosen by the
student from those offered by the Department of Integration.
Social Service – Each student must provide without economic compensation 480 hours of work in a non-profit or government agency in an approved program.
This is a requirement established by Mexican law. Generally this requirement is met within a period of six months.
A detailed listing of the courses in each of the areas mentioned except Integration is explained in table B2

Table B1 Entry Qualifications.doc
Student advising is carried out on an informal basis by the coordinator of the Mechanical-Electrical program as well as by other professors throughout the
period of study of the student. At each registration the student is provided by the Office of Student Services with a listing of the courses which he/she is
elegible to take during the ensuing semester. Without special permission the student is permitted to register in a maximum of 60 credits. Upon completion of
the course requirements the student´s transcript is submitted to the Secretary of Public Education where it is checked against the list of required and optional
courses previously approved by the Secretary of Education for each subsystem of the Mechanical-Electrical program Only upon approval the transcript by the
Secretary of Public Education is the student permitted to present his professional examination and receive the degree.
Optional courses of the major area –This is a list of courses from which the student is required to choose a minimum of two in order to complete the degree
requirements. These also fall into the category of basic engineering science but are not considered essential in the preparation of the student. For this reason
the student is given some latitude in the choice of courses in this area although he/she must make this choice from the offerings provided by the
department.
Integration (humanistic and liberal arts) courses – Each student is required to pass a minimum of six of these courses in order to complete the requirements for
the degreee. Currently two of these courses are specified as obligatory for all undergraduate students of the university and four others are chosen by the
student from those offered by the Department of Integration

On the final year of the preparatory school the students must approve the National Higher Education Evaluation Exam, done by the National Center of
Evaluation CENEVAL For the admission to the Universitdad Iberoamericana all the students must approve the Admission Evaluation to the university, that is a
proof that measure the ability of the student to do university studies, and must approve the ENIES.
The admission to the university is composed by an average between 50% of the rate average of the courses of the final two years of High Scool studies and
50% of the ENIES evaluation. This evaluation does not guarantee admission to the Selected Program. They need to obtain a minimum rate that depend of the
number of students that the academic unit can accept. The best ones are admitted to the program.
To be eligible for admission at Universidad Iberoamericana, students must present Preparatory School Certificate, (High School), and have attended school for
at last 12 years Furthermore, to be enrolled at Universidad Iberoamericana the students are required to take an admission test Examen Nacional de Ingreso a la
Educación Superior. Applied by CENEVAL.
The ENIES test for the UIA is about the following cultural fields:
logics
verbal comprehension
Mathematics
Natural Sciences
Spanish
Social Sciences
This test does not require a specific study, since the questions mostly concern reasoning and basic knowledge acquired during the Preparatory school..
