History

In 1936, the Centro Industrial de Trabajadores (Workers' Industrial Center) was established. In 1960, as part of a reorganization of programs, four new Vocational Schools of Engineering and Physical and Mathematical Sciences were created, each educating students for two years. In 1972, the vocational schools began serving students for three years and were redesignated as Centers of Science and Technological Studies (Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos, CECyT).

In 1974, the General Technical Advisory Council of the IPN approved the renaming of the CECyT schools after historic figures; CECyT 2 was named for Miguel Bernard Perales, who was the director general of the IPN in 1937 and 1938.[1]

In 2011, a new aeronautical lab was dedicated at CECyT 2, named for Elsa Carmina Cortés Vorrath, the first female pilot in the Mexican Navy.[2]
