(TRANSLATION)
MR. RODRIGUEZ:
This is Samuel Rodríguez from the
University of Mayagüez Campus of the University
of Puerto Rico. I will make a presentation
aobut one of the alliances that we have, the
alliance with the Puerto Rico OSHA, the
Department of Engineering specifically. And
since we have seven minutes, well I’ll go a
little fase. So forgive me. First of all as
part of the alliance that Department of
Chemical Engineering has with Puerto Rico OSHA,
there is the part of revision of currículum.
Obviously we want to maintain the fundament of
chemical engineering which has always been
important in the department. We are also
trying to improve the communication of our
students and the ethics of engineering also.
Finally what brings us here today, the
part of incorporating the concepts of safety
and chemical processes, already the practice of
chemical engineering, specially with the
students who graduate from our campus.
Within the activities of the department
