The experience through my studies in the Master's in Industrial Engineering has been very enriching, not only because it has allowed me to deepen my knowledge acquired in the Mechanical Engineering career for data analysis and process management, but it has also provided me with the criteria and adequate tools for making the right decisions. The multiple technological resources provided by this program have allowed me to experience the scope of the methodologies learned in class and have made my knowledge not only part of the theory, but also become a useful instrument in my professional development.

I am grateful to USFQ for giving me the opportunity to face this new academic challenge in the hands of professors passionate about teaching.

- Clara Orellana (2017-2018), Mathematics professor, USFQ -

Starting my fourth level studies at USFQ has allowed me to reach a high level of motivation that has driven me to continuous growth, both personally and professionally. I have great admiration for the MIIN teaching staff since they have an excellent academic preparation and extensive professional career, in addition, they have always presented the opening to share their experience in the classroom, which has facilitated the learning process. Without a doubt, I think that having chosen this program and this university was a wise decision, I have felt the passion and the energy present in every corner of the campus, and in this way, I have been able to successfully face the demands of the master's degree.
