📋 Tender Overview
The workshop was taught by university students from UNI and SeoulTech, through INICTEL-UNI. Within the framework of the Leading University Project for International Cooperation (LUPIC), students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FIEE) of the National University of Engineering (UNI) and the Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) trained high school students from the I.E.E. Isabel La Catolica, in the district of La Victoria, in cybersecurity and technological development today.
This is the third consecutive year that volunteers from both universities have joined together, through the National Institute for Telecommunications Research and Training of the National University of Engineering (INICTEL-UNI), to give these talks to high school students, with the aim of raising awareness about the cyber dangers of technological and cultural development, as well as strengthening the cultural ties between Peru and South Korea.
Students and teachers give their opinion
Javier Antonio Perez Lozano, deputy director of the institution, highlighted the importance of this activity so that students who are close to graduating can learn first-hand what university life is like and what careers related to technology they could study.
It is an excellent initiative that allows fourth and fifth year high school students to have contact with UNI students and learn about life at the university. It is important that they learn about careers such as cybersecurity, he said.
He also stressed that it is important that these training sessions be decentralized and extended to other departments of the country so that more students can explore the world of science and technology.
For her part, student Jennifer Mosquera said that, for her and many of her classmates, the workshop dedicated to cybersecurity was one of the most interesting. We can use it to protect our personal data on social networks, both at school and in our daily lives, she said.
For her part, Tayra Chumioque, on behalf of her classmates, thanked this initiative, as it allows the students to learn more about university careers that are currently in vogue. We are very grateful that they are with us, teaching us a little about what engineering is, thanks to this international agreement. I am very happy to have been part of this group selected to be able to share this knowledge, she declared.
Workshops
The volunteer university students will continue with the training in two other emblematic educational institutions in the district of La Victoria on Wednesday, September 4 and Thursday, September 5.
