Within the framework of the EIEI ACOFI 2017, the following topics of engineering interest they will be addressed, reflecting and exposing experiences of the university and the enterprise, in which scientific, technological development and its social impact highlighted:

  • Protection and integrity of materials
  • Efficient use of water
  • Mobility and transport
  • Biomedicine

Methodology

Each topic will be addressed in a workshop on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, in which the research experiences that are approved by the organizing committee will be socialized and a debate will be held among the participants.

The papers will be exhibited in poster form during the days 27, 28 and 29 of September, according to the conditions established by the organization and that will be informed in a timely manner through the website www.acofi.edu.co/eiei2017

You must specify the topic to which you belong and mention which research category you are in.

The selected works will be presented orally in the Workshop on September 26 and will be displayed in poster form at the Convention Center.

The evaluation criteria that will be taken into account are the following:

  • Correspond to an investigation.
  • Consistency with one of the proposed topics.
