Innovating and sharing.

One of the formative axes of the University of Celaya is to promote that our students take advantage of all their abilities to innovate. To discover ideas and develop them to generate products or services that bring benefits to themselves and their community.

The effort of an entire semester was shown in the innovation project showcase, where our young people presented a wide variety of ideas such as a solar cell case to automatically charge the computer, ecological ashtrays that filter the ash to be used later as fertilizer, applications to administer medicines, convertible portable table, video blog projects for students who are looking for careers, etc.

Many of these ideas are already in operation, in the patent process or in production stages, so the community of Celaya will soon be able to benefit from the projects of our young people.

Uni at ASQ Milwaukee

The University of Celaya attended the ASQ World Congress of Quality in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Raising awareness of Celaya's heritage

The First Week of Archaeology at the University of Celaya, organized by the School of Architecture, ended. Its main purpose was to raise awareness of the great archaeological and historical heritage of the State of Guanajuato, which has more than 1000 unexplored sites, only 32 in Celaya, creating awareness among the population and the economic and political sector to revalue, rescue and preserve it, also taking advantage of its potential to generate employment, promote tourism and enrich our culture.

Raúl Alcántara and Miguel Ángel Cruz, about the restoration of the Tresguerras Bridge. A monumental work that was possible thanks to the civil will of those involved, allowing to rescue this important work of one of the most important architects in the history of Mexico, converting a space that was abandoned and worn out in a place that gives a new view to the city and invites its population to take advantage of it for different academic, cultural and social events.

 

Alumnos innovan y crean nuevas patentes.

Nuestros alumnos de los últimos semestres de profesional presentaron proyectos de innovación que desarrollaron durante el semestre final. Estos proyectos son muy variados y van desde aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles, soluciones para la vida escolar, accesorios ecológicos para nuestras mascotas y hasta nuevas formas de disfrutar un café o té.

Los inventos y productos son en algunos casos ideas completamente nuevas y en otros, adaptadas a nuestro estilo de vida y necesidades regionales. Cabe señalar que los alumnos están en proceso de registro de patentes, una vez realizado el trámite podrán entonces proceder a la producción o comercialización de los mismos.
