El año 1961 se inicia la dictación del Técnico Mecánico Universitario, siendo reemplazado el año 1968 por la carrera de Ingeniería de Ejecución en Mecánica. En el año 1981, al formarse la actual Universidad de La Serena, se crea la carrera de Ingeniería Civil Mecánica.
El ámbito de acción del DIMEC, se realiza en términos docente, investigación y de extensión y vinculación con el medio con una planta académica altamente calificada con postgrado y larga experiencia industrial.
