Education Model

The ITESM education model is called the "Redesigned Education Model", because it redesigns traditional didactic models around technology, and certain attitudes and values shaped around entrepreneurship, knowledge, culture, resoursability, and social consciousness.

Part of the education redesign includes having certain courses taken partly online or exclusively online. It also includes field work, such as practices in the private initiative. Learning foreign languages is a must, especially English. Most courses are bilingual, and in 2003 the first course in French was given.

Every five years, during a satellite broadcast to all campuses, the institute addresses the student, staff, and administrative bodies. In this broadcast, the institute revisits its goals, evaluates its achievements and shortcommings, and sets the next goals with particular emphasis on the needs of an increasingly global society.

In addition to being one of the first serious users of Internet in Mexico (1980s), ITESM was also a pioneer in the use of wireless technologies among Mexican enterprises. These technologies have been extensively used to facilitate online education throughout the campuses.
