The Faculty of Art, Design, and Audiovisual Communication (FADCOM) participated in the presentation of the ESPOL 2026 High School Rankings, an institutional initiative that recognizes high schools whose students stood out for their participation, academic performance, and admission to the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral.
During the event, the Product Design program presented an exhibition of prototypes developed by its students, allowing administrators, faculty, and representatives from various educational institutions to gain firsthand insight into the educational process, technical skills, and professional scope of the program. The exhibition demonstrated how product design integrates creativity, innovation, research, and technological development to generate solutions that address the real needs of society and industry.
The ESPOL High School Ranking strengthens the link between secondary and higher education, recognizing the efforts of institutions that encourage their students to pursue a university education. It also serves as a platform to introduce prospective students to ESPOL’s academic offerings and demonstrate the impact its degree programs have on the country’s development. Through its participation, FADCOM continues to promote design as a discipline capable of generating innovation and contributing to productive growth through academic education.
