Chemical Engineering Academic Week connects students with alumni of the program

The exchange of experiences between students and alumni is a highlight of the Academic Week of Chemical Engineering at Unesc, held during the 17th Science and Technology Week. This activity promotes contact between students and various professional paths, broadening their understanding of the opportunities available in the job market.

Organized by the Academic Center of the course, the program aims to bridge university education with professional experiences. The discussion panel with alumni allows students to learn about the paths taken after graduation, the challenges of the profession, and opportunities in different sectors of Chemical Engineering.

According to the course coordinator, Miquele Padula, the initiative connects students with the real demands of the market and the macro trends in the chemical and sustainable industry. "By participating in lectures, workshops, and roundtable discussions, students expand their professional outlook and strengthen their networking with industry specialists. However, the true highlight of the event lies behind the scenes," she notes.

"The immersion of students in the conception, planning, and execution of the entire program acts as a catalyst for the development of student leadership. By taking the lead in the event, the members of the Academic Center and the participating students practice essential skills for the engineer of the future, known as soft skills, such as teamwork, project management, complex problem-solving, and effective communication," she adds.

The initiative also reinforces student leadership in organizing the Academic Week. Participation in planning and executing activities contributes to the development of skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and project management.

"The goal is to showcase the different areas of expertise that the course offers. Thank you all for your participation," comments the president of the Academic Center (CA), Arisa Kiyokawa.
