9:00 am :Introduction “Training on Large engineering issues (Cities, Energy…) by Marcelo PAVANELO - Facilitator

Large engineering issues will be exposed with reflexions on several  levels:

- Great outlines of the evolutions and challenges for this issue

- Anthropology, social modeling and implications attached to the technical options

- Orientations choosen in our Jesuit Engineering School Research program and  Pedagogy

- Examples of learning situations

CITIES [Talk + questions & reactions = 40mn max]

by Jose Luis GUTTIEREZ - Director Departamento de Architectura, urbanismo e ingenieria civil - IBERO Mexico

“At the Department of Architecture, Urbanism and Civil Engineering at the Universidad

Iberoamericana Ciudad de México we are committed not only to the generation of

knowledge, but also to its application and we therefore assume the urgent challenge of contributing to the construction of a new paradigm where social and environmental responsibilities are a central concern and a guarantee of improved living conditions...

9:40 amENERGY [Talk + questions & reactions = 40mn]

by Dr Pablo FRIAS MARIN - PhD Electrical Engineering -  Deputy Director at Institute for Research in Technology  ICAI - Madrid

A review of the future challenges of energy systems will be presented: (i) needs research, with a review of ongoing projects addressing these challenges at the Institute for Research in Technology; (ii) needs academic transfer, how master & graduate courses have adapted and incorporated lessons learnt.

10:20 amBUSINESS, FACTORY 4.0 & Data analytics

[Talk 25mn+ 15mn questions & reactions = 40mn max]

by Alex Rayon Jerez - Vice President International Relation DEUSTO  - Doctor en Informática y Telecomunicaciones, habiendo desarrollado su tesis doctoral en el área de Big Data y Business Intelligence.

“Obviously, our engineers of the future will have to deal with the era of big datas. The economic world, the business, the factories will be ruled by an increasing role of the AI and always more ultra-connected devices and processes.”

11:00 am :“Who are we?” + Break

Break with presentation posters mapping

11:30 am : Introduction 2nd theme “ Technical case studies”.

by Marcelo PAVANELO - Facilitator

Concrete scientific/technical cases will be exposed with reflexions on several  levels:

- Responsability of our jesuit research institutions facing ecological stakes, social models and potential risks attached to the use of technologies

- The way we train our engineering students facing such complex issues

"Radiations and health"

by Fr. John ROSE - [Speech + questions & reactions = 30mn]

“Electro Magnetic Radiation, due to lack of political will both from the State and Federal Governments for the past 15 years or so, has been posing a frightening ecological and health hazards to more than 1.3 billion Indian population. There are at least five hundred thousand powerful cell towers, excluding repeaters and boosters, installed all over the country for about one billion mobile phone subscribers…”

12:10 am :“Alternative building materials from waste”

[Speech + questions & reactions = 30mn]

“How to prepare engineers leaders for societal changes”

by Yann FERGUSON - Icam - [Talk + questions & reactions = 40mn max]

3:40 pm :“Innovative pedagogy to mix Engineering and social justice”

by Gail BAURA - LUC - [Talk + questions & reactions = 40mn max]

4:50 pm :“The Ignatian approach to engineering”

[Talk 25mn+ 15mn questions & reactions = 40mn max]

by Aleksandar Zecevic - Associate Dean for graduate programs - PhD in Electrical Engineering

“This talk will focus on the distinctiveness of Jesuit education, and how that pertains to engineering. Special emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinarity and the notion of "educating the whole person", which has its roots in the Renaissance ideals that St. Ignatius embraced. As a case study, we will examine a course on science and religion that embodies these ideals, and has been offered at Santa Clara University and a number of Jesuit schools in India and South America.”

5:30 pm :In small group (5/5)   Rooms :
