ESPOL's FICT held the RUTA FICT “Explore, Discover and Decide” event, an interactive career guidance experience that allowed applicants to learn about careers in Geology, Mining, Petroleum, and Civil Engineering in a practical way. Through tours of laboratories, technical challenges, and experimental activities, participants were able to experience the career before choosing it, strengthening an informed and motivated decision about their university future.

FICT-ESPOL hosted Dr. Marisa Giuffrida, a researcher from the University of Catania (Italy), for a scientific stay focused on the mineralogical study of rocks on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. This collaboration, carried out under the Climred and Peligal projects alongside Dr. Maurizio Mulas' team, seeks to decipher the geological origin of the archipelago. In addition to the scientific contributions, this alliance with the University of Catania —the oldest in Sicily— strengthens the Faculty's internationalization, paving the way for future exchange programs for students and researchers.

Karolayn Gaibor Yambay, a student at FICT-ESPOL and President of the ASCE ESPOL student chapter, has been selected for a four-month research internship at the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) in Montreal, Canada. At this prestigious institution, a leader in applied engineering, Karolayn will work on a regenerative infrastructure project focused on developing low-carbon permeable concrete mixes to optimize their strength and sustainability.

A Mining Engineering student was selected as the winner of the prestigious Women in Mining (WIM) Scholarship, an international recognition that promotes female participation in the mining sector.
