Entrant profile

The Master's program in Structural Integrity is aimed at professionals with university training in Engineering: industrial, materials, chemical, metallurgical, mining, maintenance or other related fields.

Although it is recommended, it is not necessary to have professional experience to take this master's degree.

The academic profile of a student in the Master's Program in Structural Integrity is designed in relation to the aspects of Research and Knowledge, emphasizing the development of competencies:

Research

• Ability to study independently, analytical skills, with a spirit for research/innovation.
• Proactive person with knowledge of research methodology.
• Ability to work in a team.
• Communication skills and a desire to improve their environment, seeking to leverage technology and innovation for the benefit of the company and its staff, with an interdisciplinary vision.
• Ability to solve engineering problems at an advanced level.

From the knowledge

• Critical thinking about information in the field of Engineering in the areas of processes, operation and maintenance.
• Problem-solving ability in new or unfamiliar environments.
• Mastery of disciplinary knowledge.

Graduates of the Master's program in Structural Integrity will be able to:

• Integrate the various criteria of Engineering, to solve and anticipate problems by applying modern techniques, methodologies and component evaluation strategies to guarantee the structural integrity of the assets of an industrial plant.
• Manage tools for managing a structural integrity system.
• Formulate basic and/or applied research projects. Develop skills to write high-level scientific articles for peer-reviewed journals.
• To competitively enter the industrial sector with a solid understanding of the in-service behavior of the main materials, incorporating techniques, methodologies and strategies aimed at preventing and/or minimizing component and system failures.
• Analyze the structures and components of industrial facilities using computer platforms related to structural integrity.
• Implement maintenance strategies that allow the detection of damage using the most commonly used technological devices today.
• Form multidisciplinary teams that allow them to analyze the different deterioration mechanisms in the components of industrial plants.
• Managing a Structural Integrity system in the Plant in a context of maximum safety and availability.
• Make appropriate decisions to reduce and/or eliminate risk in industrial facilities.
• To seek and achieve proper and responsible development in their professional and personal life.
• To undertake and develop projects.
• Develop managerial skills in analysis, synthesis, and decision-making.
