an educative institution, the ITESM is unique in this sense, scoping a widerange of the educational spectrum: research and the exploitation of its results to make themost out of technological advantages, and the development of researchers andprofessionals that contribute significantly to the regional and national development.3. REVERSE ENGINEERING AS A TEACHING TECHNIQUE. Reverse Engineering (RE) is already a main technique in a wide range ofmanufacturing processes. The RE approach focuses on the re-analysis of existingproducts where the relevant technical documentation or information is not available. Theaim is to investigate specifications, cost, operations, manufacturability, reliability,limitations, function and other information
