Graduates from the seventh cohort of the Master's of Civil Engineering Degree participated in community outreach focused on the well-being of the population, reaffirming their social commitment through postgraduate training.

The activity was carried out within the framework of the project Sustainable Maintenance of Septic Tanks: Health and Environment for All, led by Cristian Salas, M.Sc. During the day, students participated in the development of the script and the recording of shots for the production of an informative video, in which they shared knowledge about the proper maintenance of septic tanks.

The main objective of this initiative was to disseminate practical information that contributes to the prevention of waterborne diseases, helping families to protect their health and their environment.

In this way, learning transcends the classroom and becomes accessible health education, with messages that can be multiplied and generate a positive impact on the community.
