Dr. Patricia Corbo, Academic Secretary of the School of Engineering, and Daniel Goldenberg, an engineering professor at the School of Engineering, participated in the “Latin American Seminar-Workshop on Identifying Technological Needs in Areas Related to Mechatronics and Their Link to Industry,” which took place from March 3 to 5 in Mexico, as part of Phase 3 of an agreement between Mexico’s National Center for Teacher Training (CNAD) and JICA, the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
During Phases 1 and 2, Professors Matías Nogueira (in 2006) and Daniel Goldenberg (in 2009) traveled to Mexico to receive training in robotics through six-week full-time courses; they subsequently supported the robotics activities carried out in secondary schools as part of the RAES (Robotics Applied to Secondary Education) project, coordinated by André Fonseca, Ph.D., Professor of Analog Electronics and Automatic Control. They also participated in updating the automatic control courses for the Electronics Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering programs.
The objective of this seminar was to evaluate the work carried out in the previous phases and plan the third phase, identifying training needs in mechatronics and automation.
