Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Sustainable Technologies in service of society

Post-pandemic higher education in the region will surely bring changes that will include greater adoption of online teaching technologies and methodologies, as well as an emphasis on digital skills and competencies for the digital economy. We hope that there will be changes in the way higher education is financed and regulated and that greater collaboration between universities and companies will be encouraged to ensure that graduates are better prepared for the labor market, an objective that we welcome at LACCEI.

The fields of STEM continue to be promising areas to address the current digital revolution and the accelerated changes towards a society that focuses the use of technologies on the well-being of the planet and people's lives. This invites us to continue working with the conviction and firm commitment to commit to academic excellence and innovation in engineering, without ignoring the fundamental values that guide our actions in the years to come. Therefore, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are crucial factors in achieving these objectives. We assume, together with our members and allied organizations, the responsibility of continuing to contribute to the advancement of disciplines, creating more inclusive and collaborative spaces that foster equal opportunities and promote quality in training, and ensuring a prosperous future for the world in which we live.
