<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:small">Universidad de Ingeniería & Tecnología (UTEC) is a private university located in Lima, Peru. UTEC boosts education, innovation, research and development of the economy, based on the design of an educational model that is aimed at the needs of the labor market and addresses the various problems of the XXI century.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center">[[File:Utec 2.jpg|frame|center|600px|Utec 2.jpg]] &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center">[[File:Utec3.jpg|frame|center|600px|Utec3.jpg]]</p><p style="text-align: justify"></p>

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, &nbsp;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>

<p style="text-align: justify"></p><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000">UTEC encourages investigation and innovation among its teachers and students.&nbsp;Among the most valuable things you can find at UTEC is to meet professors who, in addition to sharing&nbsp; knowledge, are a source of inspiration that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship and high-impact research. Some of the many profesors that we could mention are Katia Canepa, professor of computer science in 2017, creator of the Beauthy Technology concept that combines beauty products with electronics to, in addition to improving aesthetics, acquire a "super-power" through technology. And Julio Valdivia, current director of Bioengineering, a Peruvian scientist affiliated with NASA, who leads the project "Potates on Mars", with the finality of eradicating famine and in the future, feeding the colonies of humans on Mars. Both professors organized the "Disrupton" 2017 at UTEC, with the theme "Wearables in Space".</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify">[[File:Julio Valdivia.jpeg|400px|Julio Valdivia.jpeg]][[File:Katia.jpeg|294px|Katia Canepa.jpeg]]</p><p style="text-align: justify">[[File:Disrupton1.jpg|320px|Disrupton1.jpg]][[File:Disrupton2.jpg|320px|Disrupton2.jpg]]</p>
