A todos los participantes,

A nombre del grupo SAE Bajío les agradezco su presencia en la carrera Baja SAE Bajío 2009, sabemos el reto que implica competir en un evento donde se ponen a prueba de forma integral las habilidades ingenieriles y de trabajo en equipo.

Estamos convencidos de que el evento reunió a estudiantes universitarios que tienen un gran espíritu de competencia leal, sed de aprendizaje, preocupación por el progreso de la ingeniería nacional y, sobre todo, que saben que su participación los prepara como ingenieros y seres humanos éticos y responsables.

El esfuerzo, sacrificio y dedicación que pusieron en presentaciones, reportes y prototipos son cualidades en extremo loables que no pasaran desapercibidas en ningún ámbito de sus vidas. El éxito profesional está ligado a la capacidad de hacer del quehacer común un arte, y rememoren: “no hay arte sin disciplina, ni disciplina sin sacrificio”.

Con eso en mente, su partición en si excede positivamente por mucho la relación costo-beneficio que BAJA SAE supone. Si en algún evento de la competencia fallaron, no hay nada perdido. Al contrario, las mejores oportunidades de mejora ocurren luego de la derrota: investiguen cómo mejorar el evento en cuestión, planeen y trabajen duro por cumplir su objetivo. Los organizadores y comité de evaluación de la competencia estamos en la mejor disposición de retroalimentar y apoyar a los equipos para la mejora de sus proyectos.

A continuación, me gustaría presentarles al Comité Organizador de la Competencia y su principal función dentro del grupo profesional SAE Bajío:

Es un placer trabajar con gente comprometida, que busca el bien común, el crecimiento de la educación en nuestro país y que tienen un alto sentido de profesionalismo.

También quiero agradecer a las personas que se solidarizaron al esfuerzo como voluntarios, jueces, conferencistas y patrocinadores. Su voluntad se vio reflejada en la carrera y su compromiso quedará grabado en el desarrollo de la educación en nuestro país.

Quisiera agradecer también a los Faculty Advisors, su participación es de suma importancia para el desarrollo de los estudiantes, los exhorto a que dentro de los límites que el reglamento marca para ustedes, sigan empujando a sus equipos y asegurándose que exista una mejora año con año. Les recomiendo ampliamente no escatimar en ayuda para que los alumnos cumplan con el reglamento así como con las normas de seguridad que el evento requiere.

Estamos conscientes de que la competencia tiene muchas áreas de oportunidad, por lo cual, recibiremos con mucho gusto todos sus comentarios y los tomaremos con toda seriedad y profesionalismo para mejorar el evento del año siguiente. El medio para hacerlos llegar es bajasae@saebajio.org
