Reunión de Actualización Curricular, Aprendizaje Digital y Microcredenciales en Semiconductores
The Secretariats of Education Publica (SEP), Economy (SE), and Ciencias, Humanidades, Tecnología e Innovación (Secihti) held a meeting titled “Update of Curriculum, Digital Learning, and Microcredentials in Semiconductors” to align technical and university education with strategic sectors of Plan México, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
Key Participants and Their Roles
- Mario Delgado Carrillo: Secretary of Education Publica, reported on 184,000 students in technical programs related to semiconductors at the upper-secondary level and 15 new technical programs in the National Bachelor’s program.
- Vidal Llerenas Morales: Subsecretary of Industry and Commerce at SE, emphasized the Plan México’s focus on investing in infrastructure for innovation, training, and dual education to strengthen national talent in high-value sectors.
- Juan Luis Díaz de León Santiago: Subsecretary of Technological Development, Linkage and Innovation at Secihti, highlighted the alignment of educational capabilities with Plan México’s strategic priorities, particularly in the semiconductor sector.
Key Developments and Impact
During the meeting, Infineon Technologies México donated state-of-the-art equipment worth $10 million to five public universities, creating a national network of semiconductor formation and training. The donation includes assembly, testing, and packaging lines, along with additional resources like repair facilities, classrooms, digital learning platforms, and specialized training for staff.
This collaboration between the federal government, Santander Universidades, and Infineon Technologies aims to develop highly specialized talent in line with industry needs. The universities involved are the Autonomous University of Baja California, CETYS Universidad, Autonomous University of Nuevo León, University of Guadalajara, and one Chihuahua-based institution yet to be determined. Future donations are expected, enabling the equipping of laboratories and workshops in both bachelor’s programs and universities nationwide.
