Universidad de Celaya fomenta la capacitación de profesionistas, empresas e instituciones.

Con el compromiso de cerrar el año de la forma más dinámica posible, el departamento de Extensión Universitaria, así como el Centro de Innovación e Ingeniería se están concentrando en áreas muy específicas para brindar a sus alumnos la preparación más especializada en cada una de sus áreas. Es por eso que actualmente se están ofreciendo cinco cursos que, sin dejar atrás los métodos tradicionales, buscan ser muy actuales e innovadores.

 

Por primera vez en Celaya, se contará con un taller llamado “The Samurai Game”, el cuál inculca a través de una serie de simulaciones el aprendizaje vivencial sobre los principios de liderazgo. Este taller se llevará a cabo el 14 y 15 de octubre y será impartido por Pablo Ramírez Bellini, entrenador certificado y creador del entrenamiento motivacional (Más allá del miedo).

 

Generando una visión industrial en las ingenierías, para todos aquellos que están involucrados en los procesos y elaboración de plásticos y moldes, la Universidad de Celaya generó la infraestructura necesaria para trabajar en las áreas de fundamentos en inducción de plástico, diseño de moldes de inducción, análisis de fallas en productos plásticos, administración y mantenimiento de moldes, y desarrollo de un producto plástico. Asimismo, por medio de un convenio con el Centro de Capacitación Técnico Aeronáutico, el 24 de septiembre, el 1 y 8 de octubre, se llevará a cabo un seminario de introducción a la Industria Aeronáutica.

 

Para las ramas de gastronomía y nutrición, se contará con la capacitación “Soy Té”, en la que un especialista que nos visita desde Guadalajara reconocido en varios organismos nacionales e internacionales por sus conocimientos sobre tés y tisanas, impartirá un curso para certificación a través de los niveles básico, medio y avanzado; en donde los participantes podrán conocer todo el proceso histórico y de preparación que conlleva cultura del té. Su precio y duración varía según el nivel al que se aspira y estará disponible del 21 al 23 de septiembre. Cabe mencionar que este novedoso curso tiene validez por un crédito de especialización y no sólo está disponible para la comunidad universitaria, sino que también para el público en general.

 

En cuanto a viajes académicos, por segunda vez en la universidad realizará una visita al parque Disney World, donde los asistentes tendrán acceso a una charla por parte del personal de Disney Youth acerca de liderazgo, trabajo en equipo y creatividad; además de la oportunidad de hacer un recorrido por las cinco áreas estratégicas de Disney World, se podrá apreciar el proceso creativo de la empresa mayor empleadora de Estados Unidos. Además, el viaje incluye una visita a un show Cirque Du Soleil, donde los asistentes tendrán acceso tanto a camerinos como oficinas administrativas del circo. Este viaje se encuentra disponible para todas las carreras y es válido por dos créditos de especialización.

 

También en su segunda edición de la Universidad de Celaya, se realizará nuevamente la certificación “Experiencias Wow”, ya que viene desde la ciudad de México Mari Carmen Obregón, catalogada por la revista Forbes como una de las cuarenta jóvenes promesas, con una interesante propuesta llamada “Efecto Wow”; en donde la conferencista explica la forma de generar experiencias increíbles a través de ideas muy simples. Al finalizar este curso, cada asistente obtiene su certificación como “Creador de Experiencias Wow” y tiene validez por un crédito de especialización.

 

Adjunto a estos nuevos cursos, la universidad continúa ofertando sus cursos tradicionales tales como “Finanzas para no financieros”, “Modelo de Negocios Personal con LEGO”, entre otros.

Psychology Conference

Listening to practical cases, real testimonies and theoretical elements in a dynamic way, was the way in which psychology students started the "Psychology Conference 2016"; in which, through the students' table of the career, several experts with outstanding careers in the different branches of psychology were invited in order to have the most complete program possible.

 

In the first talk, entitled "Legal Psychology", given by Psychologist and Master in Human Development, Luis Cardona Herrera, Expert Reg. No. 90, the students were able to analyze the development and functioning of expert psychology both in Guanajuato and in comparison to some neighboring states.

 

The function of an expert witness is to provide the judge with the psychological elements that are necessary to make an accurate judgment. Under this premise, the speaker shared with the students his experience throughout his career in this work, highlighting the importance and responsibility involved through some audiovisual examples of real cases.

 

"The world of psychology is constantly changing," commented the lecturer, so he emphasized to the students to perform their work with superior quality and to rely on new information and communication technologies as key tools for their performance as professionals.

 

Although throughout their academic training psychology students have the tools and bases regarding psychometrics, they do not have a subject specifically dedicated to psychological expertise; that is why it is so important to complement their training through this type of conferences that encourage their continued specialization, said Miriam Centeno, Director of Psychology.

 

The second talk, entitled "Psychological Intervention with Drug Dependent Patients", was given by psychologist Anabel Fernandez, who, in addition to having been president of the College of Psychologists of Celaya, currently works at Capasits, an outpatient center where both office-based interventions for HIV patients and workshops, group work, prevention and group and individual counseling are carried out.

 

In addition to theorizing extensively on the concepts of HIV and AIDS, as well as explaining their causes and differences, he pointed out to the students various prevention methods and ways to approach and help their future patients in case they are carriers.

 

The third lecture was given by psychologist Alejandra Pérez Cabrera, who visited the Centro de Integración Juvenil, a center for the prevention and treatment of addictions, where she invited the students to carry out their professional internships.

 

"Values, beliefs and habits are acquired in the family, which reflect how the person is inside and outside the home", said the lecturer; that is why intra-family relationships should be strengthened, as well as coexistence and education at home as a factor in drug prevention.

 

In the same way, he listed five key factors that should be maintained within the family: fostering values, communication, expression of feelings, supervision and closeness, as well as the establishment of norms and rules.

 

To start with the closing day, the students had the participation of Aurea Razo Vallejo, a graduate of the university who has excelled in the field of sexology, which highlights a videoblog entitled "The Public Hair", which tries to give advice to young people, resolves doubts, and addresses issues of interest regarding this topic. The graduate also gave a workshop to young people on the stages of child sexuality.

 

Prior to the closing, Dr. Ricardo Ocaranza gave the last lecture entitled "The body, the consequence of thinking", where the doctor interacted with the students exemplifying the chemical processes of the body and the mind, concluding that the control is in the body itself. Supporting this hypothesis, the students performed one-on-one contact exercises to analyze emotions and thoughts, as well as a guided meditation, where they had to apply the law of compensation, leveling feelings, thoughts and body.

 

Concluding this week's Jornadas de Psicología 2016, the director Miriam Centeno thanked the attendance of each of the speakers, as well as the participation of the students for the success of this event.

Uni offers training in the aeronautical industry.

What can be learned from Brexit?

What can be learned from Brexit?

Jordi Bacaria, professor of the Department of Applied Economics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and director of the Barcelona Center for International Affairs (CIDOB), talked to our students of the degrees in Foreign Trade, Logistics and Global Business about the reasons that led to Brexit, its implications in the world, including Mexico, and possible actions to face it in the future.

Bacaria explained that the Brexit is the result of several unresolved challenges that Europe has had since it began its integration process. The first challenge is the Euro, basically the economic and political crisis that has originated from the recession, the debts of the countries, the bailout of the economies and the austerity policies that have undermined the strength and social support of the European currency.

The second challenge is refugees, a crisis that has polarized opinions in favor and against, because while some see an opportunity to recover an economically active population that provides demographic stability to the future of nations, others, such as those who supported Brexit, see a threat not only of fundamentalist ideas that provoke terrorism, but of profound changes in society that put the status quo and Western culture itself at risk due to the massive arrival of Muslims.

The third challenge, and a direct consequence of the previous two, is Brexit, which has been seen by those who support it as the only solution for England to recover and move away from the crises that Europe is experiencing with the Euro and the refugees, an option supported mainly by those over 5 years of age and with lower educational levels as they perceive their opportunities diminished by globalization; on the contrary, young people and entrepreneurs believe that their future and opportunities lie in integration with Europe.

What to do then with the Brexit? Bacaria explains that while the countries of the Union are looking for England to start the exit process as soon as possible and thus discourage other territories from thinking that leaving is not a good decision, the United Kingdom is looking to extend the process and thus have more room for negotiation and be able to create new agreements that will bring them the greatest benefits. However, analysts agree that, although the United Kingdom and Europe will be able to move forward with the separation, growth and development will be slower than if they were together.

How does this affect Mexico? Although England does not directly have a strong economic relationship with Mexico, there is no doubt that the economic uncertainty generated by this outlook affects the Mexican economy and specifically the value of the peso against other world currencies.

What solutions are proposed? It is not a simple formula, but we must work hard and with a lot of political will to advance European construction, which will strengthen the Euro, establish community visa programs for refugees, fight populism and demagogy and lead international trade treaties.

For young students, having this perspective and analyzing how problems originate and are solved in the world gives them clues to find solutions to Mexico's problems.

What can be learned from Brexit?

Tradition and custom plus creativity and innovation to win first place in the 2016 kid contest.

When creativity and innovation are key to success.

The students, Mark Mendoza from seventh semester; Mariana Serrano, María Paula González, Nabila Shaheen, Ana Paula Pesquera, Lizbeth Cerriteño, Allison Sosa and Alejandra Sánchez from fifth semester; and Dulce María Casas from third semester of gastronomy; together with their professor of Spanish gastronomy and mukimono art, German chef David Jahnke were the winners of the first Cabrito contest at the 3rd Artisanal Beer Festival.

img_7825

This was the first time that these young people had participated in a culinary contest, competing against eight other participants including experts who have been dedicated to goat for generations as well as gastronomy schools, the students claim that it was the originality of their recipe that helped them achieve success.

Texture, flavor and technique, as well as presentation were the main aspects to qualify in the contest, so the students used as tools of creation and innovation some genuine Celaya ingredients that highlight the values of identity and belonging as well as the combination of ancient and modern cooking techniques, such as vacuum, tatemado and wood-fired techniques.

For the preparation of the "Cabrito con sabor a Celaya", as the kids named their dish, it was necessary to vacuum seal it with pirul, season it in the molcajete with tatemadas corn leaves, butter, craft beer and various types of chili.

The students consider this type of extracurricular activities as an added value in terms of practice, technique and knowledge; they also feel honored that their teacher has shared his recipe with them and instilled in them values such as learning to work as a team, having a competitive attitude, listening to everyone's opinions, and acquiring improvisation skills, since they came to the contest with a planned idea but at the moment they change things.

It should be noted that these skills that the young people are acquiring also prepare them to start their own businesses where they can make use of tradition and cultural richness but mixing it with creativity, innovation and technology to reach new audiences.

Satisfied with the results and to continue encouraging these values in his students, Chef David plans to hold a contest similar to this event at the University of Celaya.

Congratulations

 

 

Desde Colombia a la Uni.

Nicolás Suárez y Laura Ruiz vienen de Colombia, ellos estudian Comunicación Social y Periodismo en la Universidad Minuto de Dios en Bogotá. Nicolás tiene 20 años y Laura 19 y ambos decidieron cursar su quinto semestre universitario en México. Hoy, a un mes y diez días cumplidos de su viaje, nos comparten acerca de su experiencia en la Universidad de Celaya:

¿Por qué decidieron venir a México?

Nicolás: Empezamos buscando universidades en España, Chile y México, al final México fue el más factible debido a que se puede llevar una vida agradable. La universidad resultó en último momento, nos pareció una buena universidad con buenas bases, una buena plataforma en línea, buenas imágenes promocionales y nos gustó la atención que nos dieron al momento de investigar sobre el intercambio. Además, nos dimos cuenta de que México se hace más énfasis en los medios y el periodismo digital con respecto a España y Chile, que están más enfocados en  la publicidad.

Laura: Primeramente teníamos pensado España y Argentina, pero son lugares que tienen un alto costo de vida y resultaba muy difícil económicamente porque los que nos ayudan en este proceso son nuestros padres. Finalmente comenzamos a buscar en México en diferentes universidades y éste de la Universidad de Celaya era un nuevo convenio con la Universidad Minuto de Dios.

Las instalaciones nos encantaron, la atención cuando llamábamos o por correo nos pareció que todos eran muy atentos, nos agradó muchísimo.

¿Qué sitios de México conocen hasta ahorita?

Nicolás: Hasta ahora sólo hemos ido a Querétaro y parte del centro de Celaya. Sin embargo, tenemos planes de ir a San Miguel de Allende y lugares de aquí cerca por el factor cultural.

¿Qué materias están llevando?

Laura: Ciber-periodismo, Diseño web, Comunicación Organizacional, Metodología en Investigación Cuantitativa, Mercadotecnia, Formación Humana y Francés como oyentes.

 ¿Qué es lo que extrañan más de Colombia?

Nicolás: Primero que nada la familia, ya que soy muy apegado a mi familia y mi casa, además de la comida de allá. En Colombia el picante no existe y por eso ha sido duro pero la experiencia de probar acá cosas nuevas ha sido toda un proceso pero ha sido muy bueno.

Sinceramente, en Celaya hemos encontrado enormes personas. Para el tiempo que llegamos hemos encontrado prácticamente familia. Nos han acogido de manera increíble las personas tanto en la calle, los conocidos y las familias de nuestros compañeros.

Laura: La experiencia de acoplarnos al picante acá ha sido muy difícil, además de extrañar a la familia y las personas. El aspecto cultural de Colombia no creo que me haga tanta falta porque nos hemos estado relacionando muy bien, además de que hay muchas cosas similares entre los países.

 

¿Cómo ha sido su experiencia dentro de la universidad?

 Nicolás: Los lugares de la universidad son enormes: Tiene lago, tiene cancha y tiene una cafetería muy bonita y se presta bastante para hacer un ambiente muy agradable, para salir a caminar. Igualmente compañeros y profesores han sido familia, prácticamente.

Laura: A mí me ha encantado, tanto por los compañeros que hemos encontrado, como por los profesores y las clases. En lo personal todo se me ha hecho increíble y espero que en el transcurso del tiempo siga siendo así.

¿Qué expectativa tienen del tiempo que les resta aquí?

 Nicolás: Nuestra expectativa es dejar una gran imagen primero tanto de lo que es Colombia como de la Universidad Minuto de Dios y asimismo compartirles esta experiencia a ellos.

Laura: Queremos enriquecernos con toda la cultura de acá y llevarnos muchas cosas que podamos compartirles de nuestro país en ese sentido. Aprovechar que somos comunicadores y llegar allá a incentivar nuestra experiencia por medio de nuestra carrera y llevarnos lo mejor de nuestras materias y de las personas de acá y aprender sobre su cultura.

Nuestros compañeros colombianos continuarán en la Universidad de Celaya hasta el 15 de diciembre, fecha ideal para regresar a Colombia a celebrar las fiestas navideñas con su familia y compartirles sus gratas vivencias en México.

What can be learned from Brexit?

One of the best experiences you can have

IMG_0046

 

Ale Sanchez is studying a degree in Gastronomy at Uni and last semester he completed a semester stay and also did an internship in Brazil.

When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?

Yes, since the other students who had traveled abroad last semester informed us of a Portuguese course for foreigners that would help us a lot to be able to be more fluent with the language.

Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?

The truth is that I never imagined it, but the best of all is that surprises come when you least expect it and it is worth all the effort I make to be a good student.

Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?

Never, it was my first time.

What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?

The simple fact that I was going to have the opportunity to get to know another culture and to have the experience of living alone and knowing that everything you do has to be a reflection of your effort. Also to get to know the gastronomy of another country.

Why did you decide to study in that country?

Because it is a Latin American country, which has tropical ingredients and ingredients from Europe, its gastronomy has a fluid variety and by meeting people from there I could get to know typical or familiar dishes that would allow me to understand more about the culinary tradition of that country.

How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?

I was very excited because I loved the idea of being able to see what it had to offer and the new things I could see.

How have you been received at the university where you arrived?

It is a very beautiful university and with a splendid staff, they are very attentive to each of the foreigners and always supported you in any problem you might have.

What will you miss most about Mexico?

Gastronomy

What about the Uni?

The way of working since I was used to their way of evaluation and above all to all the teachers and students of my faculty.

What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?

The opportunity to be able to travel to other parts of the country and all the people I met from various parts of the world is great.

And the hardest part?

Having to get ahead with my studies in college and having some family problems.

What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?

Personally I was looking for development and development to be able to get ahead alone in an unknown country and with the people around me. Professionally, I had the opportunity to get to know very closely its gastronomy and also an opportunity to develop work experience.

Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?

Of course, it is one of the best experiences a student can have, mainly because you start to value all the things that you have in your country and you just don't see them as something special, until you are far away from them, and also because you meet many people that help you to change as a person and to think in a different way.
