Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora, Ciudad Obregón

The Sonora Institute of Technology is a Mexican public university based in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, with satellite campuses in Guaymas, Empalme and Navojoa. Founded in 1955 as a preparatory school called Justo Sierra Institute, it was initially sponsored by Lions International until 1956, when it renamed as Northwestern Institute of Technology. In 1962, Governor Luis Encinas Johnson approved a state law that restructured the institution and gave it its current name. ()
