We had spent the morning in their modern building constructed in 2014, but the tour of the older buildings gave much more context of the rich scientific history in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/06\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7388\" style=\"width:217px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/06\/image.jpeg 451w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/06\/image-300x272.jpeg 300w\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we even entered the first building, our student tour guides talked about how the building was emblazoned with \u201cEscuela De Injenieria.\u201d This is not a spelling error on the builders\u2019 part, but predates the standardization of Real Academia Espa\u00f1ola. The students told this story with a smile as it imparts a sense of tradition and pride amongst them as no other schools maintain this nod to history. Further into the quad, the main building of the Campus Beauchef is named after Justicia Espada Acu\u00f1a Mena, their first female student and the first female engineer in South America. This is a result of large feminist protests that took place in 2018 further proving how much science is revered in Chilean history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>by Ray Stacey<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After spending lunch with the female engineering students from the morning session, they led us on a tour around the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":7430,"parent":7360,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-sidebar-right.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7379","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fimg_url":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/06\/DSCF0199-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7379"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7584,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7379\/revisions\/7584"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
