TRAVELING AROUND MÉXICO
From July 4 to July 29, 2022
The iSummerMx Programs are an innovative academic option designed for International
students who love traveling and learning about new cultures. They are four-week-long and were
created with an itinerant schedule, that is, students will travel to dierent Tec de Monterrey
campuses in dierent cities. This means that students will learn about dierent parts of the coun-
try without ceasing their studies.
Each Tec de Monterrey campus will organize special activities with field trips, company visits, and
networking events that will make their experience unforgettable, by creating everlasting memories,
exercising their intellectual curiosity, and developing entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership
skills in a multicultural setting.
The programs are based on experiential learning so students will learn also outside the class-
room by developing real-life collaborative projects with other students. Students will be embarked
on Tec de Monterrey ́s TEC21 educational model, an ambitious university-wide program to rethink
education allowing flexibility as to how, when, and where students learn.
Aeronautic Industry Program – Rising Aerospace Industry in Mexico
This program is designed for students interested in acquiring the basic knowledge and skills to venture as young professionals in the aeronautic industry.
Students will learn about the aeronautic industry ecosystem, key technological trends, and the relevance of this Mexican industry in the international setting.
