The Mexican ceramic industry is one of the more competitive internationally, and its level of exports, constitutes an important foreign exchange earner for our country. Approximately 70% of domestic production takes place in companies located in the northeast region, being the hub of Monterrey Mexican industry sector. Because of supply shortages in our country’s formal education programs in the area, domestic firms are forced to develop human resources through training in their own plants or, in the case of highly specialized personnel, sending engineers abroad which is an additional financial burden to their production costs.
The establishment of the Education program as a Masters in Ceramic Science and Engineering organized by the Faculty of Chemical Sciences, UANL, is intended to improve fundamentally the training of human resources in this area at the same time, work on specific development projects Product and / or improved technology in collaboration with industry.

Objectives

The overall objective of this postgraduate program is to train highly qualified human resources to contribute with their creative capacity to meet the priority needs of Mexican society and the University as well as achieving their own personal goals.

The specific objectives are:

1 .- To train specialists in an area so important to the national economy as ceramics.

2 .- To promote scientific research and technological development of both the UANL and the industry.

3 .- To deepen the relationship between university and industry, to provide both sectors the human and technological resources that help make them more competitive internationally through:

Development and / or improvement of new products
The improvement of existing production processes
Innovation all or part of industrialescerámicos processes.
