The curriculum consists of two general subjects and four electives, which contribute to the axis formed by the Thesis Progress Seminars I and II and the final thesis seminar, resulting in a total of 90 SCT.
The general subjects define a common profile, strengthening and deepening mathematical and physical aspects necessary for the development of the thesis work. The elective subjects allow to advance in the line of research in which the thesis will be developed. Within the elective subjects, it will be possible to choose topics of specialization, ascribed to existing agreements with other graduate programs.
The thesis work will be developed in three semesters, beginning with the Thesis Progress Seminar I, which includes the presentation of the thesis project. During the Thesis Progress Seminar II, the state of the art is developed, and the student will initiate the thesis work plan. At the end, the student must make a presentation of the progress of his/her project before the Thesis Committee.
In the last semester, the Final Thesis Seminar culminates with the delivery of the Thesis, which will be distributed among the Thesis Committee, concluding the process with the public thesis defense.

The teaching methodology is characterized by being both theoretical and applied, oriented to the analysis of applied cases and problem solving. In addition, it combines the delivery of contents oriented to the particular concerns of the students according to their research projects. Furthermore, it combines the delivery of content oriented to the students' research projects, while incorporating the review and analysis of scientific articles. Además, se combina la entrega de contenidos orientados a los proyectos de investigación de los estudiantes, mientras se incorpora el desarrollo de competencias necesarias para la producción académica a través de la revisión y análisis de artículos científicos.
The evaluation tools consider tests, practical work and projects. Academic work such as bibliographic research and oral presentations based on the review of scientific articles are also considered.
Grades for the Master's Degree in Engineering Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, use a scale from 1 to 7, being 1 the worst and 7 the best possible grade. Those subjects with a final grade equal to or higher than 4.0 are considered as passed. To remain in the program, the student must maintain a cumulative average grade of 5.0 or higher.
Once the student has satisfactorily passed all the subjects of his/her Work Plan, he/she can defend his/her Degree Thesis. The final presentation of the document will be made when the student has received the approval of his/her advisor.
In order to evaluate the document, a four-member commission will be formed, composed of the advisor and three correcting professors, one of them external to the University. Each member of the correcting commission will issue and judge the thesis with their observations and final grade.
The requirements for obtaining the Master's degree are:
1.To pass all subjects with a final grade point average of the program equal to or higher
than 5.0.
2. To pass the Thesis and Degree Examination.
As a product of the thesis work, the student must prove one of the following options: participation as a speaker at a conference, submission and acceptance for review of a manuscript to an indexed journal or participation, as an inventor, in the submission of a patent application.
The student's final grade in the Program is obtained considering: 50% grade of the Thesis work and 50% grade of the oral presentation of the Degree Exam. The grade is expressed according to the following table: prueba
| Grade | Concept |
|---|---|
| Between 6.4 y 7.0 | Passed with Highest Distinction |
| Between 5.7 y 6.3 | Passed with Distinction |
| Between 5.0 y 5.6 | Passed |
