Statement of principles (Signed by the founders on october 20, 1972)

We, the founders of the Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito, engineers and professors of engineering, convinced of the urgent need for the country to have an institution dedicated solely to facilitate the training of all those interested in learning the science and the technology in the field of engineering, in order to use our knowledge in the selfless service to the community to achieve welfare for the Colombian people, make the following statement of principles: • With the foundation of the Colombian School of Engineering, Julio Garavito, we do our task to contribute with the means at our disposal to train engineers whose distinctive characteristics are the high technical skills and their spirit of social solidarity.

• For the fulfillment of the task we have set, the guidelines of the Colombian School of Engineering, Julio Garavito, tend towards the formation of the engineers both in the scientific and technical aspects and in social and humanistic aspects.

• The integral education must be understood as a supportive process between professors and students motivated by the community of objectives; therefore, the active participation of each other in this process is required without meaning the participation of students in managerial and administrative functions of the institution.

• Both the integral education of engineers and other tasks that the Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito carries out will be referred to a conceptual framework focusing on the study and knowledge of the Colombian reality, so the engineers educated in the School can be in a position to formulate solutions to national problems and carry them out successfully.

• In the development of all its activities, the Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito will keep absolute independence from all political, racial, economic or religious creeds and, therefore, will be outside all partisan interest for such beliefs.

• Those who aspire to educate themselves in the Colombian School of Engineering, Julio Garavito shall not be discriminated for reasons other than their skills and academic performance and interest in obtaining an integral education.

37

REASEARCH AND INNOVATION FOR THE SCHOOL ( I+i )11 The School understands research as a methodical process of generation, appropriation and application of knowledge in the scientific, technological and professional fields developed.

This process is based on logic, problematic and validity criteria proper of these fields, as well as on the progress made by the relevant academic and scientific communities, both at national and international environments.

The high academic standards, the commitment to the transformation of the social conditions and ethical behavior are the institutional values that, as a priority, guide research and are at the service of man. Of course, it also serves to conserve the ecosystems, the scientific and technological progress, the solution of social problems, the improvement of life quality and the excellence of their own building projects in both undergraduate and graduate studies of the institution.

The freedom of thought and academic pluralism that the institution declares in its principles are reflected in the autonomy that the academic community of the School has to define the paradigms of research and to guide studies from

1. Proyecto Educativo Institucional, pp. 22-23. Available in: http://www. escuelaing.edu.co/uploads/descargables/3227_pei_2002.pdf

38

epistemological approaches and methodological processes in line with the objects and problems of research in each field.

The research, as a basic function of the School, comprises the creative, individual or collective work done in a systematic manner, and aimed at developing critical thinking and the scientific spirit in the members of the academic community and generate or incorporate knowledge in each field.

Moreover, the School sees innovation as a process generated from an idea of research or the creation or transformation of products, services, processes, procedures, methodologies and techniques that meet the needs of society.

Objectives of research and innovation

• Generate a culture of research and innovation as a fundamental aspect of academic activities in the School. This culture is mainly expressed in the constant and disinterested search of knowledge about the world, reality, man and his quality of life to understand them from different meanings and possibilities. In this respect, the purpose related to the creation, adaptation and appropriation of scientific and cultural knowledge should imbue the functions of teaching and social outreach.

• Promote the development of the creative spirit and ability of innovation in the members of the academic community.

• Permanently stimulate the active participation of the academic community in the study of Colombian reality in order to generate autochthonous solutions for national problems.

• Base training of members of the academic community on high scientific and technological knowledge.

• Develop units of specialized research to become centers of generation and dissemination of knowledge.

• Contribute to the development of the region and the country through projects that aim to provide diagnosis, analysis and solution of their problems and needs.
