Enrique del Pozo Polidoro

An Industrial Engineer from the University of Seville, belonging to the third graduating class (1968-1973), he began his professional career in the private sector as a machine and mechanism designer for the Abengoa Group. After serving as technical director for several companies within the same group, he founded MC2 Ingeniería y Sistemas in 1991, a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of diverse machinery, self-propelled vehicles, and lifting and transport equipment.

He has participated in numerous Spanish and pan-European R&D projects and currently holds fifteen national and international patents. For the past thirty years, he has combined his work at his company with teaching as an associate professor at several mechanical engineering faculties, including the School of Engineering in Seville.

"The first graduating classes of the School of Engineering in Seville enjoyed exceptional conditions as part of an OECD pilot program. They benefited from an abundance of personnel and resources—faculty, workshops, and internships in companies—which were absolutely exceptional in Spain at that time. Unfortunately, these resources were lost when the pilot program ended. Those of us who graduated in those first classes were able to train under conditions that were unusual for a university at the time, and from the very beginning, we lived in an international environment that was decades ahead of the development of other faculties.".

The School has contributed to the industrial development of Seville and Andalusia by providing well-trained technicians capable of competing in every aspect with those from other, more established schools with longer traditions. I have seen that we can integrate seamlessly into multidisciplinary teams from diverse backgrounds, on equal footing, if not outright superiority.
