Irapuato, Gto., April 8, 2019.- As a result of the evaluation and continuous improvement, the Division of Life Sciences of the University of Guanajuato (UG) obtained the quality recognition of the Mexican Committee of Accreditation of the Agronomic Education, A.C. (COMEAA) for the program of Engineering in Agronomy, and the endorsement of accreditation to the Food Engineering program, effective until January 30, 2024.

The Director General of COMEAA, Eng. Rogelio Tovar Mendoza presented the awards to Dr. Diana Sanzon Gómez, coordinator of the Agronomy Engineering program and Dr. Maria Elena Sosa Morales, coordinator of the Food Engineering program, whilst highlighting the effort made by the University of Guanajuato to provide the best quality to its students.

Dr. Armando Gallegos Muñoz, Rector of the Irapuato-Salamanca Campus explained that the Campus has 18 evaluative educational programs of degree level, of which 9 belong to the division of Life Sciences and 9 to the Division of Engineering. He anticipated that this year will be very intense in external evaluations, because 8 educational programs will undergo some quality verification process at one of its headquarters in Irapuato, Salamanca, Yuriria and Tierra Blanca.

Executives, coordinators and university professors celebrated this achievement of the Agronomy engineering program that dates back to 1973 in a state historically linked to agricultural development, a program that continues to respond to regional needs by forming the highest quality professionals, always sensitive to the solution of problems, in connection with the company, the businessmen and the government sector.

Of equal importance the program of food Engineering since 1982 has formed professionals capable of innovating in the production, transformation and use of the alimentary sources seeking the safety, quality and biotechnological innovation in liaison with the industry.

At the undergraduate level, the quality recognition schemes are three: the evaluation processes by agencies such as the Inter-institutional committees for the Evaluation of Higher Education (CIEES). Accreditation processes by some accrediting body recognized by the Council for the accreditation of Higher Education, A.C. (COPAES), as was the case of agronomy and food. And the recognition processes of high academic performance undergraduate programs (IDAP-CENEVAL).

A quality educational program may have one or the three types of recognition mentioned.
