Trabajo decente y crecimiento económico

When Pablo Cisneros returned to Guayaquil last October, it wasn’t just to visit his family. He also came back to the hallways of ESPOL’s FIEC—those same corridors he once walked as a Computer Science student, where he planted dreams that now inspire many young people. There, amid spontaneous conversations and curious smiles, he shared his story: one that began in Sauces, building spacecraft out of Lego, and that today continues at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a NASA research center in California.

With the purpose of sharing knowledge and experiences about the technologies that are transforming the country’s productive processes, the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL), through the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FIEC), held the Innovation in Automation and Industrial Robotics Day last Friday at the STEM building.

When dreams are embraced and dressed in cap and gown: 228 stories, 228 FIEC graduates. Discipline, dedication, commitment, confidence, humility, gratitude, and tenacity. These were the words—spoken with voices still full of emotion—that Andrea Vélez, Leonardo Salguero, Fiorella Castro, Josué Corozo, Andrea Pérez, and Fabricio Layedra, alumni and proud Computer Science Engineer of the 2020 class, used to summarize their journey.
