It should be noted that, in 1993, Engineer González Apaolaza organized the first International Congress on Mechatronics, which led to the creation of national degrees and postgraduate degrees in this branch of engineering. Under the direction of Engineer González Apaolaza, the National Center for Teaching Update in Mechatronics was built.

During his tenure as President of the Mexican Union of Engineering Associations, Mr. González Apaolaza organized the XXIX UPADI Pan-American Engineering Convention in 2004.
