Clover 2030 Engineering
The Clover 2030 Engineering Strategy, also known as project Ingeniería 2030, is a joint initiative between two Chilean universities, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and the Federico Santa María Technical University This joint project was started in 2013, in order to transform engineering education by developing a new, shorter curricular design, funding relevant research, and by establishing a student-centered education that emphasizes multidisciplinarity, user-centered design and social responsibility as well as student flexibility and choice. This initiative thus expects to provide a platform to work on societal grand challenges, to orchestrate effective I+E networks, and to build a world-class engineering community.
