IISE
IISE promotes student and professional chapters in Mexico, and the UP student chapter has been recognized in recent years as one that always strives to excel.
Each year we participate in a summit, where students from the chapters of various institutions share the activities they carry out. For example, social work or language promotion activities.
"The aim isto complement the student's profile. For this reason, they continually participate in symposiums, seminars, visits to companies and, mainly, in competitions, such as GeneSys, organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology," says Dr. Crisdalith Cachutt Alvarado, a research professor at the Aguascalientes campus. "The latter is more focused on the area of logistics, and students from our institution had the opportunity to participate in the contest".
Annually, each chapter submits a report of all these activities it promotes, and this report can be awarded with the Gold Award; a distinction that the university won this year. For this reason, the students were able to spend two weeks at this highly prestigious university in Massachusetts.
