Engineering for the Americas (EftA)
Fostering Growth through Quality Engineering
EftA’s purpose is to promote economic and social development
through quality engineering education for innovation and hemispheric
collaboration in job creation.
This grass-root movement was approved by the highest
authorities in Science and Technology of the Hemisphere in the
Lima Declaration . In their
Plan of Action , Ministers committed their countries to the path of
developing human capital in the areas of engineering and technology as key
ingredients to joining the global economy and future economic success. Heads of
State reinforced this commitment in the most recent Summit of the Americas held
in Mar del Plata in November 2005.
EftA proposes a change of
paradigm, wherein engineering provides a basis for broad, sustainable
improvements throughout the Americas. Engineers, whose degrees are based on
international standards of quality, are critical to provide an essential skilled
workforce to compete with Asia, India, and the European Union. By seeking to
improve engineering education and apply quality assurance, mobility of both work
and workflow can open new doors, drive organic creativity, create jobs and
foster economic and social growth.
