| dc.description | To Become a World-class Institution Recognized By Its Leadership In Science Technology And Innovation Driven By a Multidisciplinary Cutting-edge Research Facing the Global Challenges That Society Needs And Providing An Outstanding And Broad Educational Experience With Social Impact And Responsibility Within the Country And Latin American Region. | |
| dc.description | The Faculty Of Physical And Mathematical Sciences Fcfm is One Of the Leading Higher-education Engineering Institutions Both Nationally And Regionally As Shown By Its Research Record (it Ranks Fourth In Latin America In the Qs Ranking) the Quality Of Its Students (which Are Selected From the Top 3% Of High School Students According To the National Admission Test) the Number Of Graduate Programs And Students (reaching 23 Master And 12 Phd Programs) the High Competitiveness In Raising Funds From National Agencies (95% Of the Faculty Participates In An External Research Grants) the Renewed Infrastructure (beauchef Poniente Project Will Provide Additional 40000m2 In 2014 Leading To a Total Of 120000m2) Its History Of Curriculum Change (with the Revolutionary Adoption Of the Cdio Initiative) And Its Record Of Innovation And Entrepreneurship. Yet the Picture Of National Success Somewhat Fades When Displayed Against the Wider World Background As Our Thorough Process Of Benchmarking That Included Trips Of Team Members To Eleven Universities Showed: Despite Our Good And Rapidly Improving National Results Our Research Does Not Have the Impact That Others Achieve We Do Not Pursue As Many Multidisciplinary Topics And Do Not Innovate As Much As Others We Are Not As Recognized Internationally As Others And We Do Not Teach Our Students a Set Of Skills As Broad As Others Do. This Led Fcfm To State a Clear Vision For This Project: the Goal is To Become a World-class Institution Recognized By Its Leadership In Science Technology And Innovation Driven By Multidisciplinary Cutting-edge Research That Addresses Both the Global And National Challenges And That Provides An Outstanding And Broad Educational Experience With Social Impact And Responsibility. By 2030 Fcfm Will Be Among the Best 100 Engineering Schools In the World And Top 3 In Latin America. This Vision Will Be Achieved Through a Strategy Of Organic Institutional Change Together With a Policy Of Strong Alliances With Prestigious Partners Geared Towards Improving Research Education And Impact On the Chilean Economy Through Innovation And Entrepreneurship Based On Scientific And Technological Knowledge (i+e St). The Benchmarking Process Clearly Showed That the Pursuit Of Meaningful I+e Does Generate These Positive Effects, Moreover the Important Stress We Place On Innovation Being Based On St Knowledge is Because As Boldly Said By the Chilean Academy Of Sciences Those Innovations Are the Ones That In the End Create More Wealth For Society. () Innovation Based On Scientific Knowledge is a Young Phenomenon (in Chile) But is the One With An Elevated Potential For Transforming Productive Processes. Our Strategic Plan For Change Considers Actions That Will: (1) Incentive Multidisciplinary Research And Education In Order To Increase the Relevance And Potential Impact Of Our Activities. (2) Move Fcfm Towards a Teaching Methodology With More Projects Multidisciplinary Work And Cdio Approach Thus Allowing the Formation Of World Class Students With Improved Skills In Innovation And Tools For Entrepreneurship. (3) Strengthen Our Graduate Programs By Enhancing the Graduate School Increasing the Number Of Graduate Students And By Promoting Dissertations In Multidisciplinary Topics. (4) Push For a Profound Cultural And Organizational Change To Foster I+e St At All Levels By Means Of An Associate Dean Of Technology Transfer And I+e St And a Scientific-technology Innovation And Entrepreneurship Laboratory That Will Help To Provide the Necessary Hands-on Experiences On I+e Activities To Both Faculty And Students. (5) Improve Our Internationalization By Means Of An Associate Dean Office For External Affairs. (6) Lead To Agreements With Prestigious Partner Universities That Will Support Our Plan. Specifically Our Key Partners Will Be the University Of Manchester (uk) As a Global Role Model Of a Public University That Followed a Steady And Successful Path Of Improvement Mit (usa) For I+e St And Leadership Education And Cornell Nyc Tech (usa) And Technion (israel) As Models For High-quality Technology Innovation Ecosystems. Notably Technion And Cornell Are Partners For a New Applied Sciences And Technology Campus To Be Built In New York City And Are Therefore Pivotal For Our Longer-term Goal Of Building a New Scientific-technological Campus At the Laguna Carén Valley. Crucially Our Bid is Not Just Wishful Thinking But is On the Contrary Supported By Two Key Factors: (i) Our Unique Current Situation With a Large Set Of Disciplines Being Cultivated And High-quality Faculty And Students, And (ii) a Recent History Of Successful Change As Shown By the 2000 Fcfm Plan That Enabled Renewal Of the Academic Staff To Foster Research the Cdio Curriculum Change And the Strong Increase Of the Quantity And Quality Of Our Infrastructure. Our Project is Undoubtedly Ambitious But It is Feasible And Will Provide Very Large Returns To Our Country. | |
