UPRM ENGINEERING COMMUNITY SUMMIT

ECoS 2023:

It is with great pride that we announce the Engineering Community Summit (ECoS) on Saturday, October 21, 2023.  Throughout the years, our School  of Engineering has been a prolific source of professionals that have paved the transformation of our society.

ECoS is part of the celebration of 110 years of engineering at UPR Mayagüez and Puerto Rico.  This activity provides companies the opportunity to promote their work, give students, faculty, and engineering professionals the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in STEM related fields, and serve as a catalyst for strengthening relations between university, industry, and community.
