The Nanotechnology Educational Program of the Technological University of Tula-Tepeji (UTTT) forms, in six quarters, university technical technicians following four pedagogical axes. The last quarter of the program is a stay in the productive sector developing a project that meets a real need applying the knowledge acquired in the program. The education that the students receive in the UTTT results in professionals with integral training and knowledge and skills to produce and characterize nanotechnological materials, which facilitates their entry into the labor market. The program is supported by companies, universities and research centers for student stays. The program infrastructure includes basic and advanced facilities. The professors do research and technological developments in the area of biotechnology and environmental nanotechnology. They have academic collaboration with other institutions of the country. In addition, all the faculty participates in activities to spread science and nanotechnology topics. With the Educational Program of Nanotechnology, UTTT participates in a strategic and high innovation area for the country.
