On 15 May, at 5pm, the second session of the Cycle of Conversations with Chief Engineers was held in the Teachers' Room. Filipe Pacheco was invited back to his "School" to share his life experiences and professional career in the merchant navy, especially with the final-year engineering students who will soon be starting their maritime careers as Practitioners on board seagoing ships.
The session was organised by Prof. Fátima Torres and moderated by Prof. Luis Baptista. It was followed with great interest by the many students present, who asked the speaker a wide range of questions on various maritime topics.
Given the huge success of this cycle of talks with Chief Engineers, this excellent initiative, which was very well received by the students, will be continued next academic year.
