Hace aproximadamente una d\u00e9cada, la Universidad de Texas-Pan American y la Universidad de Texas en Brownsville se fusionaron para crear<\/a> la Universidad de Texas del R\u00edo Grande del Valle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En aquel momento, la universidad revis\u00f3 todos los departamentos y programas y estudi\u00f3 formas de integrarlos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Simposio sobre fabricaci\u00f3n avanzada de la UTRGV en Brownsville. Cr\u00e9dito de la foto | Kristen Mosbrucker-Garza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

En aquella \u00e9poca, la titulaci\u00f3n en ingenier\u00eda con especializaci\u00f3n en fabricaci\u00f3n gozaba de menos popularidad y, en un momento dado, se plante\u00f3 la posibilidad de cerrar el programa de ingenier\u00eda de fabricaci\u00f3n, que era uno de los pocos que quedaban en todo el pa\u00eds, seg\u00fan explic\u00f3 Jianzhi \u00abJames\u00bb Li, profesor de la UTRGV y director fundador del Instituto de Fabricaci\u00f3n Avanzada de la UTRGV.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, tras reunirse con otros investigadores del sector, se dio cuenta de la necesidad de crear un consorcio y solicit\u00f3 subvenciones, sobre todo para mejorar la formaci\u00f3n de los futuros profesionales.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abY la pregunta clave era: \u201c\u00bfC\u00f3mo recuperamos el liderazgo en el sector manufacturero para Estados Unidos?\u201d\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Li, quien ahora tambi\u00e9n es miembro fundador del consejo de administraci\u00f3n de la South Texas Advanced Manufacturing Partnership.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En lugar de recortar el programa, las autoridades decidieron apostarle a\u00fan m\u00e1s fuerte, integrando la investigaci\u00f3n y la formaci\u00f3n en fabricaci\u00f3n avanzada en el plan de estudios y estableciendo colaboraciones a nivel nacional con laboratorios de investigaci\u00f3n para impulsar el avance del sector. Para ofrecer una mayor formaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica y profesional, la UTRGV tambi\u00e9n gestiona una academia de herramientas de fabricaci\u00f3n, el Centro de Asistencia a la Fabricaci\u00f3n de Texas<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La universidad ha invertido 3 millones de d\u00f3lares en la modernizaci\u00f3n de su centro de investigaci\u00f3n<\/a> en fabricaci\u00f3n de Edinburg y se centra en la investigaci\u00f3n, el desarrollo y la innovaci\u00f3n,<\/a> lo que incluye una colaboraci\u00f3n con el programa de Ciencias de la Energ\u00eda de Fusi\u00f3n del Departamento de Energ\u00eda de EE. UU. en el Laboratorio Nacional de Oak Ridge, en Tennessee.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El centro de la UTRGV tambi\u00e9n colabora con \u00abAmerica\u2019s Additive Foundry\u00bb<\/a>, un programa destinado a garantizar el suministro en Estados Unidos de las aleaciones met\u00e1licas utilizadas en la industria de la defensa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Adem\u00e1s, es socio de America Makes, una asociaci\u00f3n p\u00fablico-privada con sede en Ohio dedicada a la tecnolog\u00eda de fabricaci\u00f3n aditiva y a la formaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta semana, decenas de investigadores visitaron el campus de Brownsville de la UTRGV para asistir a un simposio sobre fabricaci\u00f3n aut\u00f3noma, movilidad del futuro, energ\u00eda y abundancia. La conferencia tambi\u00e9n incluy\u00f3 una visita al puerto de Brownsville y a SpaceX.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El programa cuenta ahora con una cantera de estudiantes y con el apoyo del sector, mientras que se prev\u00e9 que el Valle del R\u00edo Grande genere miles de puestos de trabajo en el sector manufacturero en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os, desde SpaceX en Brownsville hasta, posiblemente, un astillero de embarcaciones oce\u00e1nicas aut\u00f3nomas de Saronic o una empresa de fabricaci\u00f3n de recambios de autom\u00f3vil basados en software, Valeo, en McAllen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abVemos c\u00f3mo se avecina esta avalancha [de puestos de trabajo]. As\u00ed que es un momento perfecto para esta regi\u00f3n, y creo que todos tenemos un papel fundamental que desempe\u00f1ar en esto, porque ninguno de nosotros puede hacerlo por s\u00ed solo. Realmente tenemos que poner en marcha todo este proceso de forma conjunta\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Can \u00abJohn\u00bb Saygin, vicepresidente s\u00e9nior de investigaci\u00f3n y decano de la escuela de posgrado de la Universidad de Texas en el Valle del R\u00edo Grande.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Los asistentes debaten sobre la industria manufacturera y las oportunidades relacionadas con las tierras raras. Cr\u00e9dito de la foto | Kristen Mosbrucker-Garza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Las autoridades reguladoras federales han autorizado recientemente a SpaceX a lanzar hasta 25 cohetes al a\u00f1o.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abSon un mont\u00f3n de cohetes. Es una gran cantidad de chapa\u00bb, dijo Saygin, y a\u00f1adi\u00f3 que alguien tendr\u00e1 que fabricar todas esas piezas a lo largo de la cadena de suministro, sobre todo en el caso de las piezas reforzadas destinadas a ser reutilizadas tras haber estado expuestas a condiciones extremas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En cuanto al tipo de industria que podr\u00eda instalarse pr\u00f3ximamente en el puerto de Brownsville y beneficiarse de las t\u00e9cnicas avanzadas de investigaci\u00f3n en fabricaci\u00f3n, podr\u00eda tratarse de la extracci\u00f3n de minerales de tierras raras de una nueva mina de USA Rare Earth<\/a>, cerca de El Paso<\/a>, cuya producci\u00f3n comercial est\u00e1 prevista que comience en 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por ejemplo, en la extracci\u00f3n comercial de al\u00famina \u2014que no es un elemento de tierras raras, pero s\u00ed el componente b\u00e1sico del aluminio\u2014, el mineral de bauxita se extrae de las minas y se funde a altas temperaturas con sosa c\u00e1ustica para producir el polvo de al\u00famina.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los elementos de tierras raras se procesan mediante trituraci\u00f3n o lixiviaci\u00f3n qu\u00edmica para extraer los productos que se utilizan en la fabricaci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas de litio, por poner otro ejemplo. En la mina situada cerca de El Paso hay 17 tipos diferentes de elementos de tierras raras.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
