The degree provides solid knowledge in the areas of networks and data communication, information technology and technological infrastructure, providing them with the skills to design, implement and direct multidisciplinary technological projects.

Mission
To train professionals of excellence, leaders and entrepreneurs of projects in the areas of data networks, technological infrastructure and telematics services. To engage in scientific research and technology innovation related to network-based systems and services with solid ethical and moral values to contribute to the technology development of Ecuador.

Core Components of the Program
The Telematics Engineering program encompasses a comprehensive set of knowledge, skills, and methods that alumni must acquire upon completing must acquire upon completing the program. This ensures that its graduates are prepared for professional activities, ensuring the acquisition of the necessary skills and competencies. To achieve this, a group of knowledge domains has been defined, with associated courses designed to facilitate the development of the skills that a graduate of our program should possess. These domains include 6 professional axis: Hardware, Software, Networking and Network Services, Systems, Information Technologies, and the Internet of Things.

International Accreditation 
The Telematics Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
The Telematics Engineering program is certified with the EUR-ACE label awarded by the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education.

* Undergraduate tuition/fees:
The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador in its Article 356, among other principles, establishes that third-level public higher education will be tuition/fees free.  Zero cost education is linked to the academic responsibility of the students.
