Changes to my study programme

Water is the future

The curriculum of our career is lacking in a lot of aspects, especially in some that are really important for our development as professionals and that could improve a lot our value as workers.

One of them is a subject that was long ago an important part of our curriculum, this is hidrology, the study of water and all things around it.

I consider that this subject as a vital part of our formation, more now given the present state of water availability in the world due to climate change. Also water is irreplaceable in most of the industry present here in Chile and around the world. Becouse this reasons I think that hidrology should be part of our curriculum.

Also to be more specific I think that this part of the curriculum should have one obligatory subjet  for semester the last two years of the career, this subjects should be, hidrology, basin management, hydrogeology and water management. All of this linked with the current study of the climate change, the environment conservation and the development of an ecofriendly industry. The management of water is vital for the future of our world, our career (forestal engineering) is orientated to an industry that is one of the bigger users of water in our country, for this is also important that we have this knowledge. This would need dedicated bouidings with laboratories of hydraulic process, geochemistry and others. This subjects should have an important load of laboratory and field work.

    I agree with you, it is a very important resource and we should know how to manage and use it sustainably.

    Particularly in the context of the current drought in the country, there is a great need to

    Hello, like you, I think it is very true that the subject of hydrology is very vital in our career and it is a great lack and sadness that it is not part of the mesh subjects.

    I believe that hydrology should be a compulsory subject in the curriculum.

THE STORY BEHIND A PHOTOGRAPH

Imagen
  I took this photo on a small island located on lake Calafquen in the Los Rios región. In the photo you can see Lake Calafquen, a small dock, trees and two kayak (my cousin's and mine). I took the photo in november 2020, in a travel with my family, that was because we needed some rest from the pandemic and it turn out to be a really fun vacation dispite of it The photo I like it because brings me very nice memories of those days, I remember that with my cousin Carla we went a lot  kayaking on the lake, and to get to the island we paddle about two hours approximately, We almost died of exhaustion, but when we got to the place we were really amazed for its beauty. In the island we could see various types of birds, trees, lizards and many orchid flowers. It was definitely an incredible vacation and I hope to repeat it.

The Best Field Trip EverThe Best Field Trip Ever

  When do you went to the field trip? For which class it was? Where did you go? Why do you went there? What things did you learn there?   Viña del Mar Botanic Garden In our first year as forest engineering students, we went to a field trip with our Biotics class to the beautiful city of Viña del Mar, also known as “Viña” or “Garden City”. We weren’t there for any reason, we were there because in Viña is located one of the most complete and amazing botanic gardens of all the country. The Botanic Garden of Viña del Mar is home of a diverse number of plant species, for that reason we went there, to learn to recognize different kind of species and get to know new ones. Our assignment was simple, get a group of five random people, recognize different kind of plant taxon’s, and deliver this to the teacher. The beauty of the trip was in the new and fascinating plants that we studied and see, like for example the Toromiro ( Sophora toromiro ) , a plant so rare that is extinct in nature
