The Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) welcomes academic peer evaluators appointed by the National Accreditation Council (CNA), as part of the accreditation renewal process for its Master’s Program in Materials Engineering.

The Rector, Hernán Porras Díaz, along with university administrators and faculty members from the master’s program, welcomed the evaluators at the Rector’s Council meeting. During the meeting, each participant was formally introduced, and the University’s progress in addressing its institutional mission and challenges was presented through an institutional video.

This meeting provides an opportunity to showcase the academic program’s strengths and recent developments, as well as to identify areas for improvement that contribute to the University’s commitment to academic excellence and comprehensive education.
