"Engineering
for the Americas Symposium" |
|
The Symposium was held in Lima, Peru coordinated by of the Organization of
American States (OAS) in conjunction with the United States Trade
Development Agency (USTDA), and the World Federation of Engineering
Organizations (WFEO). Strategic partners such as the Hewlett-Packard
Company, Microsoft Corp., National Instruments and three Mexican firms such
as Cementos Mexicanos (CEMEX), Normalización y Certificación
Electrónica (NYCE), and Neoris sponsored this event.
The symposium’s agenda was ambitious and it focused on three issues: the
needs of the productive sector for engineering graduates and capacity
building; quality assurance in engineering education; and country planning
for financing of upgrades to engineering education. The Engineering for the
Americas initiative intends to establish a mechanism that allows the
creation of educational reforms at the regional level that enclose the needs
of the productive sector and prepare the new engineers with capacities
certified by transparent accreditation systems, which will favor
professional mobility, investment levels, and therefore regional
integration. Thus, the symposium was made with the intention of giving a
step towards the achievement of this initiative, and ended with the proposal
of creating regional working groups that might continue the actions already
started in this event.
