IEEE DAY 2025

IEEE Day commemorates the first meeting of engineers and IEEE members worldwide, an event that marked the beginning of a community dedicated to sharing technical ideas and advancing engineering. On October 17, we will celebrate this special date at the University of Cauca, in a day full of innovation, collaboration, and passion for technology. In the morning, we will hold an academic forum with special guests, who will share their experiences and reflections on soft skills: leadership, communication, and teamwork, essential competencies for the professional growth of every engineer. In the afternoon, we will enjoy a great scavenger hunt at the CDU, a space designed to strengthen the IEEE community through fun, cooperation, and competitive spirit. 🏃‍♀💪 [] Speaker(s): Daniel Gomez, Jorge Vargas, Juan David Hoyos, Viyils Sangregorio, Oscar Calderon Agenda: The IEEE Day 2025 at the University of Cauca was organized by the IEEE Unicauca Student Branch, bringing together innovation, teamwork, and the spirit of engineering.

Participants registered and gathered for an explanation of the dynamics before diving into six exciting stations designed to foster collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity. The event also included refreshments, sports activities, and a closing award ceremony to recognize the top-performing teams.
