Electrical engineers graduating from ESIME highlight their participation in many areas of the public and private electricity sector.

• In the public sector as project engineers for hydroelectric, thermoelectric, carboelectric, nuclear, combined cycle, and other generation plants; in projects of transmission lines, distribution, substations, rural electrification, distribution networks, load dispatching, and demand management; in the management of automated systems and electrical protections and in the operation and maintenance of electrical power systems.

• For the CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad) in essence the energy demand in recent years has grown exponentially and the trend is to continue growing shortly, so the field of activity for Mexican engineers is:

  • Basic or conceptual engineering projects.
  • Detailed engineering projects.
  • Construction and erection equipment and systems specifications.
  • Commissioning and start-up.
  • Operation and maintenance.

• In the private sector, mainly in electrical manufacturing companies, our engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of: three-phase and single-phase electric motors of all types; distribution and power transformers; high and low voltage electrical panels; reactors and capacitors; connectors; electromagnetic starters and a large number of electrical devices and appliances.

• In the transformation and metal-mechanic industry, in the iron and steel, automotive, paper, bottling, household appliances, rubber, textile, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and mining industries, among others.
• Educational sector, in public and private institutions that offer the career of Electrical Engineering and related branches.
