The degree of Systems Engineering was one of the four founding degrees of the UPSA in 1984. It was created with the objective of training professionals in the development of computer systems and software, designing data bases, with a solid formation in basic sciences. At present it is in its third curricular versión. The basic lines of the first program were programming, development of computer systems, study of computer languages, data bases, operative systems, optimization and modelling.

In its second version (1989) this degree was strengthened with the recommendations of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), in addition to what we observed the market needed. In its third version (2000), with growth and development of software, application of data bases and networks, each of these areas was strengthened and developed due to demand; at the same time that management tools were updated, destined to the development of apps on the Internet utilizing commercial and freeware software.


As a Systems Engineer you will be prepared to create your own company or work as an area Manager or main Executive in national and international institutions, developing essential computer systems for the operation of organizations.

You will also be able to create systems, software and apps in a diversity of operative systems and programming languages that operate in the cloud, in mobil devices, PCs, tablets and intelligent phones; integrating all types of real systems and apps that will allow organizations and people to perform with total connectivity and security in a hyperconnected and globalized world.
