One of the highlights of the @aacu Global Learning Confere ce was meeting @DrLunaCruz, a Puerto Rican NASA Scientist 🚀and advocator for global change initiatives in international #education 🌐👩‍🏫. Ambos somos ex alumnos de @uprm🐾 y LatinXs en STEM 🇵🇷 🇬🇹 @InQuRUM @UFLChE

Attending for the 1st -and counting- time the Conference on Global Learning. Happy to share a panel with my @UFWertheim and @uf_ogl colleagues on Virtual Exchange programs for Engineering majors, showcasing our efforts for the internationalization of our Eng curricula 💪

@FordVersyptLab @UFLChE @UFWertheim @UF All undergraduate, mostly between 3rd and 5th year (Eng programs in #LATAM are still 5-year long)

@FMerida_UF @UFLChE @UFWertheim @UF Awesome work Fernando. What level were the students?

"Ingeniería de Nanocompuestos Para Aplicaciones Biomédicas". Eight-hour hands-on workshop offered at the XXIX COLAEIQ - El Salvador 2024. I had an amazing cohort from 🇬🇹🇸🇻🇭🇳🇨🇷 Brilliant minds working on case studies and experimental practices🥼🧪 @UFLChE @UFWertheim @UF

And so, last Friday marked the end of my participation at the XXIX COLAEIQ. Without a doubt, my favorite conference! It makes me feel so happy, motivated, and alive! 🙌 Proud to be a chemical engineer, a @UFLChE member, and a #latino. Nos vemos el próximo año en #Honduras 🇭🇳

Discussing the @UFLChE MS and PhD programs with atendees of COLAEIQ. Many brilliant students and lots of talent out there in Latin America! We need to strengthen efforts to better inform what a PhD entails for the future of LatinX students! Happy to help! 🙌 @UFWertheim @UF

@SindiaSrj @ASEE_DC Yes, thanks to these amazing sponsors! Also big thanks to @goodrich_ve for the support with the invoicing process, to @FordVersyptLab for additional assistance, and to @SindiaSrj for taking all these pictures!! 🙌

@jabulencia @SindiaSrj @ASEE_DC @UFLChE @UF_Eng_Ed @UFWertheim @UF Thanks, Patrick!

@FMerida_UF @SindiaSrj @ASEE_DC @UFLChE @UF_Eng_Ed @UFWertheim @UF Congratulations!!

Pumped! @SindiaSrj and I received the DELOS Best Paper Award at @ASEE_DC 2024. Great collaboration between @UFLChE and @UF_Eng_Ed, supported by @UFWertheim. We're committed to elevating the quality of eng education at @uf and beyond!

Sharing one of the fantastic videos ceeated by my colleague @LecturerToccoUF for the ChE community. In this channel you will find this and other videos explaining fundamentals aspects of ChE, Excel tools, regression analysis, and more. @vjtocco" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@vjtocco Click and subscribe!

Además de la parte académica, el COLAEIQ es cultura en su más pura esencia. La "Gala Latinoamericana" sigue siendo el evento insignia en cada COLAEIQ. Explicar con palabras la alegría que siento en esta gala sería imposible. ¡arriba Latinoamérica! Y está vez 🇬🇹 y 🇵🇷 juntos! 💙

Advertising the @UFLChE PhD program during #COLAEIQ. I had a great time talking about our PhD program and responding to questions from students. I was recruited for Grad School during COLAEIQ (ages ago!) so I'm trying to give it back! More LatinX ChE grad Gators coming soon!

There's no other conference that brings me so much joy and excitement than the Latin American Congress of Students of Chemical Engineering (COLAEIQ). Muy feliz de haber compartido conocimiento y a la vez seguir aprendiendo. ¡Arriba Latinoamérica! Nada como nuestra cultura 💙

A few stamps of the recent ASEE Annual Conference. It felt so good to reunite with great friends and colleagues, and to keep contributing to the advancement of Engineering Education in so many different areas and perspectives.

Christmas in Guatemala! 🇬🇹🎄 What's included? Family, kind people, delicious food, best coffee in the world, chilly evenings, colorful surroundings, beautiful architecture everywhere, and... hablar únicamente en Español! 💙 #Guatemala #almadelatierra

@ufippd - System Level Design Review presentations. The "Chemboard" #design team working on improvements and expansions of what we envision to be the first @UFLChE 's lab-on-a-kit for classes (lecture & lab), outreach initiatives, exchange programs, and more! @UFWertheim

@YomairaPT @primerahora @InQuRUM @uprm @aicheiiqpr ¡Muchas felicitaciones a estas excelentes profesoras!

Unit Ops 1 Lab final presentations done! Congratulations to these brilliant students for their hard work this semester! Excellent presentations and suggestions to improve experiments in the future. I'm very proud of you all! 🙌 #happyprofessor @UFLChE @UFWertheim

Thanksgiving weekend where the sun shines the brightest, the sea soothes your skin, and everything feels better because... #puertoricodoesitbetter 🇵🇷🏝☀️
