IEEE Day 2025 | Day 4: Innovation, Design, and Empowerment

The IEEE Day 2025 (Day 4) celebration features a full-day program dedicated to innovation, design, and professional development. The morning session begins with an engaging UI/UX Master Class led by Jesús Trujillo, Daniel Martínez, and Andrés Lopera—professionals recognized for their expertise in interface design, software development, and user-centered engineering. This session will guide participants through key design principles, emphasizing creativity, usability, and modern approaches to user experience. Following the workshop, participants will engage in a Mockup Competition, where teams will develop and present innovative proposals inspired by the morning session. The competition encourages teamwork, design thinking, and technical precision, promoting collaboration among students and professionals. A networking lunch will follow, offering a valuable opportunity for speakers, judges, and participants to share experiences, exchange insights, and strengthen professional connections within the IEEE community. In the afternoon, the focus shifts to the “Women in Tech” guest panel, titled “Women in Engineering: Professional and Career Perspectives.” The panel features Luna Julio (Systems Engineering student and Backend Developer), Nicolle Antequera Rocha (Electronic Engineer and MSc student at Politecnico di Milano), and Merlys Solórzano Mendoza (Talent Acquisition Specialist and HR leader in tech). Each panelist will share personal trajectories, career strategies, and perspectives on advancing women’s participation in engineering and technology. The day concludes with acknowledgments and closing remarks, celebrating teamwork, innovation, and inclusion as core values of the IEEE community, and reinforcing the importance of empowering diverse voices in technology and engineering.
