Tecnológico Nacional de México Campus Querétaro

What Tecnológico Nacional de México Campus Querétaro does

Tecnológico Nacional de México Campus Querétaro (formerly Instituto Tecnológico de Querétaro, ITQ) is a public federal higher education institution located in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico, and one of approximately 133 campuses comprising the national Tecnológico Nacional de México (TecNM) system under the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education (SEP). The institution delivers tuition-free undergraduate and graduate engineering education, with 12 undergraduate programs spanning Data Science, Semiconductors, Materials, Mechatronics, Computer Systems, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic Engineering, Business Management, Logistics, and Architecture, alongside three master's programs (Data Science, Engineering, Semiconductors) and a Doctorate in Engineering newly approved in 2026. The campus operates two main sites in Santiago de Querétaro (Plantel Centro in the historic center and Plantel Norte) and 10 regional satellite units across underserved municipalities including Jalpan, Cadereyta, Pinal de Amoles, and Landa de Matamoros, with the EPAD (Educación Presencial a Distancia) hybrid modality extending engineering programs to rural communities.

The institution's core technology stack is a standardized digital ecosystem inherited from the national TecNM system: Moodle-based Aula Virtual for virtual learning, a Student Information System (SII) for academic administration, a Quality Management System (SGI), and an eLibro-powered digital library with access to over 101,790 ebook titles. The 10-semester student lifecycle system structures the academic pathway with mandatory tutoring (semesters 1–2), complementary credits (semesters 3–5), social service at 70% credit completion, and professional residency at 80% credit completion. The institution does not generate revenue from tuition; operations are funded through federal budget allocations routed via SEP and the TecNM central administration, supplemented by CONACYT research grants and program-specific federal funding lines (E010, E021, PRODEP/S247). The June 2026 graduation cohort numbered 286 students, and the institution engages regional industry through the Consejo de Vinculación and mandatory professional residency placements.
