IPN

My home university is the National Polytechnic Institute (in Spanish: Instituto Politécnico Nacional, IPN) is one of the largest and finest public universities in Mexico. Based primarily in Mexico City and its suburbs, it offers over 64 different undergraduate and 114 graduate programs to some 87,000 students.

The Institute was founded on January 1, 1936 during the administration of President Lazaro Cardenas in what had been previously known as the Ex hacienda Santo Tomas; a large estate initially owned by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in the 16th century and donated by the federal government. Prominent astronomer Luis Enrique Erro, former revolutionary Juan de Dios Batiz and former minister of education Narciso Bassols were among its initial promoters.

The Institute is organized around 77 academic units including 24 university colleges, 15 scientific and technical research centers, 11 continuing education centers and 16 vocational high schools located primarily in Mexico City, although several extension and research facilities are distributed over 15 different states.


Actually I enrolled in the Post-graduate and investigation studies section of the Professional School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Culhuacan Campus (Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica Unidad Culhuacan) of the IPN. This institution offers training and education at professional and postgraduate levels. Currently, E.S.I.M.E. Culhuacan offers majors on mechanical engineering, electronic and communications engineering and computer engineering, and recently, Automotive systems as well. The Post-graduate and investigation studies section of the ESIME Culhuacan offers Master's Degree Studies in Microelectronic and a PHD in Electronic and Communications, both of which belong to CONACYT's excellence program.

Finally, I want you to know our “Figthing song, it is like a spiritual emblem, we use it in every important event, like at finishing a formal event, in a sports competition and of course, when we graduate
