Learn about the foundations of the program
- Mission
The Mechatronics program at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas-ESPE trains engineers in the scientific and technological field within a framework of principles and values, and generates transferable knowledge to contribute to the progress of the country and the Armed Forces through teaching, research, and community engagement.
- Vision
By 2030, to be recognized nationally and internationally as a Mechatronics program in higher education of quality in teaching, research, and community engagement under the paradigm of a smart university, articulating the transfer of mechatronics science and technology through R processes, and becoming a benchmark in security and defense thinking, in service of the country and the Armed Forces.
- Program Objectives
- General objective
To train mechatronics professionals with solid scientific, technical, and technological foundations who synergistically integrate knowledge from mechanical, electronic, and control engineering to create, design, implement, and operate machines and equipment in order to modernize productive processes in the industrial and business sector, increasing added value with ethics, leadership, knowledge of the national reality, respect for traditions, a gender and intercultural approach, and environmental awareness.

The professional we train and the competencies you will develop
- Professional Profile
The Mechatronics program trains professionals specifically to transform productive processes and to innovate in different areas of society, through the synergistic integration of mechanical, electronic, and control engineering, to create, design, implement, and operate equipment and machinery for the industrial and business sectors and society in general, modernizing their processes and thereby increasing their added value.
- Design and build machinery, systems, and/or products according to industrial and social needs.
- Upgrade and improve existing machinery, systems, and/or products.
- Operate and maintain highly advanced machinery.
- Modernize productive processes according to industrial, social, and/or natural requirements.
- Generate added value in the areas where professional activities are carried out.
- Graduate Profile
The program will contribute to transforming the manufacturing sector by training Mechatronics engineers capable of creating, designing, and implementing products, equipment, machinery, and technology, serving as specialized suppliers for strategic sectors of the Ecuadorian economy (electric power, hydrocarbons, construction, agribusiness, among others) and with growing export capacity.
Another fundamental sector is agribusiness, of particular importance because it helps drive productive value chains, and Ecuador has major advantages both for food sovereignty for its own population—with great potential to substitute imports—and for dynamic integration into external markets, where there are already highly positioned products. The program will contribute to transforming this sector by training Mechatronics engineers who modernize a national industry of processed and semi-processed goods.
