Universidad del Pacífico organized the IEEE Tems Peru
December 16 , 2016
The Engineering and Technology Management Forum was held on Monday, December 12. During the event, the new Technology and Engineering Management Society Peru Chapter committee, which is in charge of professors from Universidad del Pacífico School of Engineering, was presented. ​
Industrial innovation, e-government, information technology and smart business, among others, were the topics that marked the agenda during the first Engineering and Technology Management Forum - Tems Peru organized by Universidad del Pacífico and developed under the seal of the Institute Of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a worldwide society of Engineers.
 
"We have made great strides because in less than six months we have already become members of the IEEE and created a student branch only for students belonging to this society that comprises more than 30 universities that belong to the IEEE. In addition, we chair this event (the Tems committee)," explained Professor Alvaro Talavera, senior member of the IEEE and president of the Tems Peru committee, during the event. 

When data and people interact 

Professor Christian Libaque, Vice President of IEEE TEMS Peru was in charge of the presentation "Management Information Systems and Technology Adoption", where the role of these systems, also known as MIS (Management Information System) was explained. 

"These information systems allow interaction between people, data, technology and organizations. They help understand technological adoption factors and may help digital technology innovation companies" said Professor Libaque who also stressed the importance of all technological design going through strong user scrutiny so that the technology is tried because "you cannot understand technology without understanding the user experience", he said. 

Industry innovates 

Digital transformation is already here and the industries are called to implement this transformation to innovate their processes, as explained by Leonardo Forero, PhD. in Electrical Engineering and Assistant Professor at Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro who shed some light on the use of computational intelligence in the oil industry during his presentation 
"Innovation in the Industry through Computational Intelligence Methods." 

"Computational intelligence is the set of computational methods that try to reproduce some aspects of human behavior. We are talking about algorithms that show immediate results that can be adapted to almost any type of problem" the Professor explained. 

Forero also emphasized the importance of the interaction between University and Industry, bearing in mind that the University must always take into account what the industry has been doing to avoid having research disconnected from reality.
