E-Fest South America 2018 – Leader
Experience
Fernando Amaral Sarcinelli Garcia (BRA)
The ASME E-Fest South America 2018 was held in UFRJ
(Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) from 27-29 July. The
event commission was formed by 20 engineering students
led by two professors, Fernando Castro Pinto, and Daniel
Castello, all from UFRJ. Also, an event organizer was hired to
help us with the logistics. To reach as many people as
possible,
Its hugetopublicity
focus was was necessary.
attract engineering students from universities
as well as technology enthusiasts from schools and technical
courses throughout the continent. Due to lower cost and high
reach, the main source was social networks. Because of the
immense travel distances in South America, it was known that
most of the attendees would be from Rio de Janeiro. So, a lot
of visits to the main universities of the city were done
(presentation in classes, leaflet giveaway, banner positioning)
The event itself consisted of atowidehaverange

this public. consisted of the
HPVC, the Old Guard Oral and Poster Competition, the IAM3D Cad Battle and the Mecaton,
an engineering challenge executed by Petrobras professionals. Besides that, there were
plenty of lectures and minicourses about different technological themes, some of the invited
companies and some of ASME staff and sponsors.
There were tours to many of UFRJ’s labs and to the CENPES, Petrobras’ huge oil and gas
laboratory complex. Lastly, for the attendants that wanted to rest or socialize, there was a
lounge full of interactive games, technology, social and students’ expositions. The ticket
included daily round trip buses from the city center to the university, lunch on all 3 days, the
kit (t-shirt, pen, squeeze bottle, and bag) and entrance to all activities. Some of them had a
limited number of spots (such as lab visits and minicourses) so it was required an on-site
registration
In conclusion, to the

event had around 600 attendants, most of them going on all three days.
Unfortunately, the number of participants of the competitions was much less than we would
like, but it was expected because there weren’t such competitions in Brazil, and it requires
time and money to develop these projects. Mainly because of the student’s inexperience in
organizing such events, the organization was much more time consuming than it should and
was made possible because an event organizer was hired. Analyzing the pros and cons, the
event was a success, with huge satisfaction on the organizers, participants and sponsors.

The ASME Student Regional Team from Caribbean & Latin America is working
on this issue, with the aim of providing a business approach to all the
processes that are carried out by the committee. There is a 50% advance in
this project.

 #WEBINARSERIES

We have had contact with organizations related to some industries, such as

NACE, SSPC, AMAZONIA INDUSTRIES, SERTECPET, ENGINZONE, ASME PERU,
etc; it has been possible to make agreements with these entities in order to
provide virtual training to our student community in the region on topics
concerning engineering and even soft skills. 4 webinars have been developed
to date, and about 10 more are still to be developed. There has been an
average presence of 30 people within these webinars and has allowed us to
generate an even wider contact network within our region.
