Graduation represents the result of the shared efforts of students, families, faculty, and staff who supported their university education. Beyond earning a professional degree, the new FICT graduates take with them a way of thinking and acting based on a commitment to lifelong learning and the pursuit of solutions that contribute to the country’s development through geosciences engineering.
The faculty bids farewell to a new generation of ESPOL-FICT alumni who will continue to be part of its community—a generation that will carry with them the knowledge, values, and experiences gained during their education, thereby strengthening the Faculty’s impact across various professional, academic, and social sectors. This graduation does not mark an end, but rather the continuation of a relationship that will continue to be built through professional practice, research, and collaboration with future generations of students.
In this 38th graduating class, special recognition was awarded to the top graduates in their respective programs: Jordy Loor Franco, B.S. in Civil Engineering; Felipe García Vargas, B.S. in Petroleum Engineering; Adrián Álvarez Reyes, for the Mining Engineering program; and Astrid Ramírez López, for the Geology program, who was also named the top graduate of the FICT. These distinctions recognize not only academic excellence but also leadership, institutional commitment, and active participation in academic and professional settings, which enabled them to represent the FICT and ESPOL both within and outside the university.
La trayectoria académica del nuevo grupo de ingenieros evidencia el espíritu que promueve la Facultad: formar profesionales íntegros, capaces de generar impacto positivo en la sociedad y de contribuir al desarrollo sostenible desde sus distintas disciplinas. A través de su participación en proyectos, actividades académicas y escenarios de representación institucional, estos graduados reflejan el compromiso de la FICT con una formación que trasciende las aulas.
La FICT celebra los logros de todos sus graduados y les recuerda que las puertas de su casa académica permanecerán abiertas; continúan siendo parte de una comunidad que crece con cada generación y lleva consigo el espíritu de una Ingeniería Viva: que transforma el conocimiento en soluciones para la sociedad y mantiene vivo el compromiso con el desarrollo del país.
