| dc.description.abstract | The Student Chapters are an initiative of LACCEI, that had the support of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Student Platform for Engineering Education Development (SPEED). The student chapters are born with the objective of uniting the participants, an international family made up of peers, academics and professionals belonging to the institutions of the consortium that can accompany them in the course of their program. They will be also a tool to create ties that allow its members to become familiar with an organization whose operation will be like that of similar institutions, with which they will interact as professionals. With the chapters, the students can develop their leadership skills, working towards the construction of social relationships with colleagues, academic leaders, and professionals to facilitate the execution and participation of students in face-to-face trainings and webinars, access to mentors, participation in competitions and visits to industrial and business facilities, access to LACCEI publications and the creation of joint programs and projects. | en_US |
