The main objective of the research is to propose a knowledge management model for the educational mechatronics program of the University, which allows to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, and / or, so that they can be really processes that allow to increase knowledge effective and practical for all staff of the institution, promoting the productivity and competitiveness of graduates and academic bodies, to be triggers of social and economic development in the region, also increasing the ability to respond to a globalized and dynamic world. The present investigation is framed within the type of descriptive investigation, under the modality of a feasible project, since a viable solution to a problem of practical type is offered; In addition, it is based on the non-experimental descriptive transectional design.

Currently, in the face of a competitive economy, it is important that companies innovate. Innovation has become the engine that drives the transformation and growth of companies and is essential to improve living standards. There is a close relationship between innovation, research and University: research produces knowledge and innovation, and universities are the main place to conduct research, because they concentrate infrastructure and qualified personnel. Through teaching, advice and participation in projects, the researchers transmit knowledge about innovation and projects, methodologies and strategies; which contributes to the mission of the Universities to train professionals to solve current and future challenges. This article is generated from a documentary research on management models, with the aim of serving as a reference to propose a documentary model of research management, which is feasible to apply in a Public Higher Education Institution, the contribution of which will be a mechanisms that allow the teacher to carry out research and technological services to impact the productivity indicators of the productive sector.
