Sustainable Innovation and Energy Engineering
Mexico is currently entering a phase of energy transition while it is also migrating toward a low-carbon economy, with some major challenges to urban development and the production sectors. Therefore, it is essential to create a new profile that can break paradigms in order to propose, assess, and generate schemes and strategies for sustainable development and the energy future.
The most brilliant, forward-looking, and creative IISE students have the opportunity of being part of the Roberto Garza Sada Center (CRGS), a space for ideas and expressions that brings together and develops the best creative talent in Latin America, with IISE working on opportunities and challenges to create a humanely intelligent community.
