INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING IN COLOMBIA

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING IN COLOMBIA

In Colombia 's progress in the field of engineering was driven primarily by new social classes Antioquia , formed by miners and traders and merits to fame doing that in the future the race distinguished by being a thriving and word got creation in 1888 of the School of Mines in Medellin with the purpose of training the leaders of public and private companies nationwide with technical approaches and organizing them with more rational characters ( Javeriana , Bogotá , 2007 ) .

Starting the twentieth century when he industrialization process in Colombia , when world which suffered the shock of the 1929 crisis , is more strongly promoted the arrival of industrial engineering in the country , making in large companies departments were established Industrial Engineering , where engineers from different areas or overseas professionals began to occupy these positions ( Jimenez , 2008 ) .

HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 

The history of the Engineering was given when the first constructions were made, of watering channels and other constructions of the old civilizations, The Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Hindu were those that fixed the knowledge of the geometry, from a lot before the year 300 to. of C. One of the exponents of the advance of the knowledge of the engineering, was given in the Constructions of the Pyramids of Egypt being Thales de Mileto the Greek first Geometer, of there the abilities of the Romans built big aqueducts and constructions. He/she goes this way being formed those "conglomerates of knowledge of the civilization" where the main characters: Euricles, Arquímedes, Pitágoras, Platon, René Discards, Blas Pascal, and many others contributed to this great universal knowledge. 

 

Although the alone Modern and Scientific Engineering began after the stage of Rebirth, being the Civil Engineering the branch but old (1750), it was the knowledge of all the biological, physical, chemical aspects so, as of productions, organizations leave developing and I joust at the end of the XVII century, the English Tomás Savery builds the first machine able to execute an useful work. But the contribution of Galilean, Newton and Tompson would fix the modern physics; appearing the Mechanical Engineering as the second branch where you settling down to beginnings of the XIX century and recognized later in Europe.

* the application of an administrative

* the formulation of technical criteria that should guide the administrative function.
