Changes

Since her freshman year (2018), she has been envolved in different kind of activities related to her major, such as the I+ Day, Meet&Greet and Open Day, activities organized by UTEC to motivate students at high-school to choose engineering and science majors. For Marcela, it is important to share our knowledge and experiences to people to get inspired and create great ideas to develop our society, that is why she founded the Student Chapter of Civil Engineering at UTEC. This way, she and her colleagues can share their major's knowledge to people interested and contribute in a few years to solve infrastructure problems in her country. She was also part of the process to establish an ASCE Student Chapter at UTEC, fortunately in January 2021 she did it thanks of all the effort of her and her team making any type of activities that achieve this objective. Marcela is very passionate about her career, so much so that she wanted to contribute to improving it, which is why she was the Spokeswoman of the Civil Engineering major in 2020, this initiative gives her the opportunity to create “meets & greets”, integration events and feedback forums on courses (everything in a virtual way).

At present, Marcela has already a plan for her future, and she improved her organizational methods. She wants to be a Civil Engineer that contributes with the decentralization of her countryfocused on Urban Planning, connecting all departments, cities and towns so that everyone has access to the basic needs of a human being by applying new technologies, she wants to be part of a new generation of engineers with a humanistic profile. Initially, she was preparing to be an agent of change and is still learningAt present, but now she shares all her knowledge learned in the UIF program to prepare new agents of change.
