Ford and Cecyte Sonora inaugur mechatronics laboratory

The Government of Sonora, through the Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos del Estado de Sonora (Cecyte Sonora), has inaugurated the first industrial mechatronics laboratory at the Hermosillo V Pueblitos campus. The facility was established following a donation from the Ford Hermosillo plant.

The donation includes a FANUC M-900iA/350 industrial robot valued at approximately 1.6 million pesos. This equipment will allow mechatronics students to practice with technology directly applied to the manufacturing and automotive sectors.

The laboratory is part of the Dual Education Model, which integrates academic learning with industrial operational processes. Currently, more than 65 students participate in this educational scheme in collaboration with Ford.
