The curricular plan considers, in addition to the subjects of the scientifical and technological area, Humanities, management and innovation courses, which result in an holistic training that further improves the professional value of our graduates. Innovation is encouraged through events and presentations at UTEC Ventures, the business accelerator of UTEC, and competitions such as Disrupton (a Hackaton focused on solving a problem within the region).</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">UTEC Ventures holds events in order to promote I&E, like Global Startup Labs, GIST Startup Bootcamp, Peru Design Week, and the 1776 Challenge Cup. As well, UTEC has design courses, like Innovation International Program and Innovation Through Design, which are focused in professional specialization. Students use spaces like Fablab, UTEC garage or the Product Design Laboratory to develop their projects. Some of them have developed collaborative projects with MIT, Harvard and Colorado School of Mines. On the other hand, something was born in 2016: Comunidad I&E UTEC, whose main mission is to improve the I&E ecosystem in the region, starting with UTEC students. This idea was born from the initiative of the first 4 peruvian University Innovation Fellows.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify"></p><p style="text-align: center">[[File:Disrupton.jpeg|287x158px|Disrupton.jpeg]][[File:Hack2.jpeg|316x158px|Hack2.jpeg]][[File:FirmaCIE.png]]</p><p style="text-align: justify"></p><p style="text-align: justify"></p>
