Since you are a freshman you face all kind of problems by Vivir la Ingeniería (Live the Engineering) projects.

It is a community of UTEC students who are passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E), whose main mission is to improve the I&E ecosystem in the region; as well as inspiring and empowering UTEC students to become leaders in these topics. We actively collaborate and have the support of UTEC Ventures, UTEC and the University Innovation Fellow program at Stanford University.
