Programa Emprendedor Obligatorio. Alternativa de Educación Integral

Abstract

This article discusses the application of an enterprising program for engineering careers in higher education schools. The accreditation system in Mexico, which applies to these schools, considers the inclusion of some courses in social sciences, but the number of courses needed for the integral formation of the future engineers is limited. Therefore, an enterprising program which includes courses such as finances, marketing, human relations and social psychology is proposed and analyzed. The program has shown to be effective since it exposes students to practical cases that they will find during their professional life.
