Opportunities for professional collaboration and innovative projects in technology and sustainability marked the day.
The students did not miss the opportunity to visit ITER’s stand in the Engineering Technical Conferences of the University of La Laguna (ULL) last December 11th. During the day, they discovered the advances in research and the use of state-of-the-art technologies, besides knowing the current internship offers that ITER has to offer.
The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) actively participated in this event, where its presence was highlighted with the exhibition of innovative projects in automation and data intelligence, key elements in the development of new technologies. In addition, ITER’s internship offers were presented, which included three outstanding proposals: Optimization of a large-scale self-consumption system, Inspection and maintenance of energy infrastructures through AI and Geospatial data, giving students the opportunity to explore how they could collaborate professionally with ITER.
Attendees had the opportunity to interact directly with the researchers and learn about the impact that these innovations have on the local and global industry. Among the most attractive projects was Marysol, a robot assistant designed and manufactured entirely in ITER. This robot showed how advanced technology can optimize tasks and improve processes in various applications. The participants were able to learn about the history of its development and how Marysol is integrated into ITER’s activities.
Another of the projects presented was REGADIAan initiative focused on optimizing water use in avocado and banana crops. Visitors were able to observe the sensors developed to measure soil moisture and talk with researchers about the methodologies applied to maximize irrigation efficiency and promote the sustainability of natural resources.
The project PAULIA project also had its space at the stand. This initiative seeks to develop a comprehensive tool to assess climate vulnerability in urban areas, identify temperature hotspots and propose solutions based on soil materials and vegetation. Its aim is to improve urban planning and optimize public spaces in small cities, contributing to a more resilient environment in the face of climate change.
The Engineering Technical Days not only offered students the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in engineering, but also created new opportunities to establish professional connections and collaborate on research projects. The event, which addressed key topics such as research, entrepreneurship and innovation, became an ideal platform to connect with companies and professionals in the industry.
This year, ESIT reaffirmed its commitment to the training of future engineers and the development of the technological community of the Canary Islands, making the conference an essential event for students of Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanics and Chemistry, as well as for those in vocational training.
