About the Journal
“The Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions, LACCEI”, is a non-profit organization consisting of institutions that offer academic programs in Engineering and Technology with the goal of collaborating with other LACCEI partners. The word “institution” includes universities, colleges and schools.
Current Issue
In 2023, working within the framework of the LACCEI-CONFEDI inter-institutional Cooperation Agreement and in collaboration with the OAS, the joint development was initiated in a hybrid format of the conferences: “OAS Summit of Engineering for the Americas”, the “21st LACCEI International Multiconference for Engineering, Education and Technology”, the “4th Latin American Congress of Engineering”, and the “2nd Latin American and Caribbean Tribology Conference” . It was held in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and organized by Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FIUBA), Florida Atlantic University (FAU), and Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN).
