Therefore, through thisapproach, universities in the region that have the most appropriate capabilities to lead the developmentand transfer of technology in this field are identified, but they can be applied to any sector and region.This study proposes a comprehensive model to measure the capacity of engineering universities toanalyze the semiconductor and chip sector, evaluating their ability to adapt, create, and transferknowledge and technologies with economic impact. The model, based on a Capability Index, allows forthe identification of institutional maturity levels in key areas such as research, development, innovation,and entrepreneurship (R&D+i+e). Therefore, the objective is to analyze the semiconductor and chipsector

Engineers play a pivotal role in addressing these issues by applying theirexpertise to develop innovative technologies and systems that improve health outcomes globally.Preparing engineers to lead and innovate in this interconnected world requires pedagogical effortsthat foster multicultural competencies. To address this challenge, we implemented an internationalvirtual exchange between biomedical engineering graduate students at the University of Florida inthe United States and bioengineering undergraduate students at Pontificia Universidad Javerianain Colombia. This exchange, conducted over 6-7 weeks, tasked university students with designingan engineering solution to a critical health problem in their partner country. Through

Low-resource engineering emphasizes creativityand user-centered design, which are transferable skills to many other career paths as well. Thepractice of designing technologies with low-resource communities in mind has been shown toincrease the equity, accessibility, and use of developed technologies worldwide [5]. Low-resource engineering design projects have benefited communities facing challenges such aspoverty, natural disasters, and inaccessibility to quality healthcare [6].
