Greetings to our beloved polytechnic family, and especially to the Faculty of Engineering in Earth Sciences. The pandemic tested us, leading to an increasingly resilient “new reality”. As a higher education institution, we have managed to ratify our commitment to teaching, research, innovation and, above all, to the social bond that is our reason for being. I firmly believe that quality education, focused on providing timely solutions to the needs of society, is the only tool that will allow us to build a more equitable country, and in turn, a more sustainable world for future generations. I invite you to visit our different communication channels and learn about our academic offer, focused on training upright and competent professionals, committed to the well-being of the human being and the care of nature.
Kenny Escobar Segovia, M.Sc.
At the Faculty of Engineering in Earth Sciences at ESPOL, our mission is to educate professionals of integrity who are capable of providing innovative and sustainable solutions to the great challenges of our country and the world. Our academic community is built on excellence, applied research, and a strong commitment to social and environmental development.
As Associate Dean, it is an honor to accompany students, professors, and researchers on this journey of learning and discovery. We firmly believe that university education goes beyond the classroom: it involves cultivating values, strengthening skills, and fostering a critical and responsible vision toward the challenges of Earth sciences and engineering.
At FICT, we strive to ensure that every student finds a space where they can grow, innovate, and transform their reality. I encourage you to take full advantage of all the opportunities our faculty offers: from research and community outreach projects to international experiences and direct engagement with the productive sectors.
Our goal is clear: to consolidate our position as a benchmark in the training of excellent professionals who contribute to the progress of society and the care of our planet.
