4 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR OF UNIVERSIDAD TECNOLOGICA DE PANAMA ING.MARCELA PAREDES DE VASQUEZ Rector Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá Panama City, Panama The Technological University of Panama is the proud sponsor and host of the X Annual LACCEI Conference. This year, over 500 academics, researchers and professionals from all over Latin America will convene at The University to participate in this event. Knowledge, experience and innovation in the areas of engineering, science and technology will be shared and discussed. This conference will also expand and promote the inventiveness and ingenuity of Latin Americans in the fields of science and technology. As your host country for the conference, Panama is highlighting its contributions inseveral technical and scientific development projects.these projects, such as the expansion of the Panama Canal, the new subway system and continued commercial development, showcase Panama scapabilities for design, development, construction and maintenance in these developing areas. Theconstruction and implementation of these megaprojects are symbols of innovation and progress not only for Panama, but for all of Latin America. The Technological University of Panama warmly welcomes all LACCEI institutional members, its managing staff and conference participants to the X Annual LACCEI Conference. We want all participants to feel like The University is your home in Panama. I look forward to meeting all attendees and hope that each of you will take advantage of this exciting opportunity to celebrate the knowledge and experience of Latin Americans in the fields of engineering, science and technology and to explore all the culture that Panama has to offer.

5 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF LACCEI DR.LEONARDO ALCAYHUAMAN ACCOSTUPA Academic Vice Rector Universidad Ricardo Palma Lima, Perú Dear distinguished LACCEI members, speakers, students, and guests, Welcome to the 10th annual LACCEI conference hosted by the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá. The revolution of technology and the ever growing globalization present significant opportunities for the advocacy of economic and social development, but also a great threat of delay for those countries that are not capable of maintaining the same growth level. The university and engineering plays a very important role in this scenario. Globalization calls for future engineers to be innovators, multilingual, to steadily manage our natural resources and the risks, mitigate disasters, to be adaptable to change, and acquire a culture where one is continually learning. How can one learn to achieve this challenge? The answer is: with the strategic alliance of the whole academic community of Latin America and the Caribbean and beyond. Alone, it would be impossible. The Latin-American and Caribbean family contains a rich culture and vast natural resources, as well as problems and common traditions, which is why there is a demand to work together as a solid union in the noble work to form Latin-American and Caribbean engineers. This conference allows us to share our educational experiences and aspirations of becoming great engineers in a short term. There are many challenges for our institution such as the accreditation of engineering careers, the investigation of teaching engineering, the innovation and mobility of our students, professors and graduates, and the standardization of curricular plans within others. I am sure that the brilliant minds of the LACCEI members will contribute in responding to these crucial challenges. In the name of the Executive Board of LACCEI, it is our pleasure to thank the faculty of engineering and the organizing committee of the Technological University of Panama, for their effort in creating this conference. We would also like to thank the distinguished speakers, deans and faculty, as well as our students who are the hope of the future for the engineering of Latin-American and the Caribbean. Special thanks as well to the Executive and Technical Committee of LACCEI, led by Dr. Maria Larrondo-Petrie, Dr. Ivan Esparragoza, Dr. Martin Candanedo, Dr. Omar Aizpurúa, and Dr. Humberto Alvarez. Here to serve you, Dr. Leonardo Alcayhuamán Accostupa LACCEI President
