Campos-Sandoval, Juan Manuel

Juan Manuel Campos has been Academic Director and Associate Director of the EIC for more than ten years. Currently, he serves as Program Director of the Mechatronics Career and Director of Entry in the Computer Science and Biotechnology careers at the Aguascalientes Campus. In 2023 he completed 18 years of service at Tecnológico de Monterrey, during which he has also served as a Professor and has obtained the recognitions of "Inspirational Professor 2016" at the National Level and "Inspirational Professor 2022", as well as those of "Professor who leaves a mark" in the 70th, 75th and 80th anniversary of our institution and holds the degree of "Associate Professor" in the regulations of classification of professors in force at Tecnológico de Monterrey. She served on the National Teacher Classification Committee in 2023. His projects in educational research and health have earned him 3 NOVUS awards, including several research articles and two published books. He has also been a mentor for the Writing Lab Program since 2019. Juan Manuel Campos completed his engineering studies at the Monterrey Campus and his master's and doctorate studies at the University of Paris-Saclay, collaborating with the Orsay Space Astrophysics Center in conjunction with the European Space Agency and Alcatel R&D in France. He has also belonged to the National Academic Senate, the National System of Researchers (SNI) and for 15 years he has been a local manager and instructor at the Cisco Academy in Aguascalientes. Currently, he is a member of the Advisory Council of the Institute of Science and Technology of the State of Aguascalientes (INCyTEA), a government agency. For Juan Manuel Campos, the inclusion of economic and sociological precepts in engineering is fundamental and he believes that engineers should become more involved in innovation for social transformation. For him, the economy plays a central role that is not always adequately dimensioned, which is why he closely follows various reports from international organizations such as the IDB, the World Bank, the IMF and the OECD, taking a particular interest in the issues of innovation, economic growth, digital transformation, gender gap, women in engineering and technological development. He was accepted as an attendee at the 2017 OECD Economic Forum and also invited as an attendee at one of the World Economic Forum conferences in Davos in 2023. He firmly believes in the integration of various disciplines to encourage the generation of knowledge, research and innovation. Consider the alliance of Basic Sciences, IT, Data Science and Mechatronics Engineering as fundamental to overcoming some of the most important challenges in public health; an example of this is his Sonidoc project, a Web platform with which he has modeled and diagnosed hearing loss in more than 10,000 people, mainly children. In 2019, she was the organizing leader of the Beautiful Patterns bootcamp at the Aguascalientes Campus, originally conceived between Tec de Monterrey and MIT to promote the promotion of more high school students to continue their university studies venturing into the areas of STEM; since 2020, Juan Manuel Campos has been part of the national committee of this bootcamp. Specialized in information processing technologies and electronic systems, he promotes the assumption of social responsibility by engineers at the level of the political, financial and economic professions. He maintains contact with internationally important companies such as Amazon, Cisco and CapGemini. Juan Manuel Campos created two small companies in the IT area and has encouraged several of his students to pursue a master's or doctorate in Mexico or abroad. He sees in his students the future and hope.

Our job as directors, teachers, researchers, or engineers should be aimed at bolstering the transformation of our society and of our species itself, in the pursuit of having the best of us benefiting the rest." For more than ten years, Juan Manuel Campos has been Academic Director and is currently Associate Director of the EIC (School of Engineering & Science). This year he will complete 17 years of service at Tecnológico de Monterrey, during which he has also worked as Professor and received the awards of "Inspiring Professor 2016" at a national level, "Professor who Makes a Mark" both in the 70th and in the 75th anniversary of our Institution, and reached the level of "Associate Professor" under the current Teachers Classification Regulations of Tecnológico de Monterrey He studied the Bachelor's Degree of Engineering at Campus Monterrey, and both, the Master's Degree and Doctorate at the University of Paris-Saclay and the École Supérieure d'Electricité, Supélec, one of the best five schools of engineering in France. He has also been part of the National Academic Senate, the National Researchers System (SNI), and since fourteen years ago, he has been in charge of the Cisco Academy at a regional level. To Juan Manuel Campos, the inclusion of economic and sociological precepts in engineering is vital, and he firmly believes that engineers should be more involved in innovation as a means to social transformation. To him, the economy plays a key role which is not always given proper consideration, so he closely follows different reports of international organizations such as the IADB, the World Bank, the IMF, and the OECD, being especially interested in topics such as innovation, economic growth, digital transformation, gender gap, women in engineering, general well-being, and technological development. He was accepted to attend the OECD 2017 Economic Forum, through one of his engineering socially-oriented projects, and invited to its last editions. He strongly believes in the integration of several disciplines in order to foster the generation of knowledge, research and innovation. He believes that the Alliance between Basic Science, IT, and Mechatronics Engineering, is fundamental to overcome some of the most important challenges in public health; as an example of this we have the Project Sonidoc, a Web platform through which he has moulded and diagnosed hearing loss in over 10,000 persons, mostly children. Being specialized in technologies for the treatment of information and electronic systems, he promotes for engineers and the societies of engineers , to assume a social responsibility at the same level that the areas of politics, finance, and economics do. He is in contact with companies of national and international level such as Amazon, Cisco, Softtek, CapGemini, Dextra, eSage, Global Hitts, Data Agility Group, and Grupo Modelo, in the fields of data science and information technologies; he has assisted in almost all of these companies, strengthening this relationship through his alumni. On his pursuit of the integral formation of his students, Juan Manuel Campos has created two small companies on the IT area, through which he has driven some of the scholars to study a Master's degree, or a Doctorate in Mexico or abroad. For Juan Manuel Campos, being a director, professor, engineer, researcher, consultant, ocassional businessman, and mentor, are sources of great satisfaction which allow him to create and lead working teams, teach, make an impact, and innovate, promoting the development of disciplinary and transversal competencies in his students. He appreciates the possibility of leading for a moment those who represent the ship of hope in the waves of an uncertain future; of generating ideas with that small group of human beings who dream of being the generation who changed everything for everyone: our students.
