The Clover 2030 Engineering Strategy, also known as project Ingeniería 2030, is a joint initiative between two Chilean universities, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and the Federico Santa María Technical University{{Cite web|url=https://www.ingenieria2030.org/|title=Ingeniería 2030 – Innovación tecnológica para la sociedad|language=es-ES|access-date=2019-01-02}}{{Cite journal|last1=Celis|first1=Sergio|last2=Hilliger|first2=Isabel|title=Redesigning Engineering Education in Chile: How Selective Institutions Respond to an Ambitious National Reform|journal=2016 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition Proceedings|doi=10.18260/p.26066|year=2016|doi-access=}} This joint project was started in 2013, in order to transform engineering education by developing a new, shorter curricular design,{{Cite book |last1=Villalobos-Cid |first1=Manuel |last2=Orellana |first2=Maximiliano |last3=Vasquez |first3=Oscar C. |last4=Pinto-Sothers |first4=Eduardo |last5=Inostroza-Ponta |first5=Mario |title=2019 38th International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society (SCCC) |chapter=Dealing with the Balanced Academic Curriculum Problem considering the Chilean Academic Credit Transfer System |date=November 2019 |chapter-url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8966411 |location=Concepcion, Chile |publisher=IEEE |pages=1–7 |doi=10.1109/SCCC49216.2019.8966411 |isbn=978-1-7281-5613-2|s2cid=210930182 }} funding relevant research,{{Cite journal |last1=Salvatierra |first1=José Luis |last2=Gálvez |first2=Miguel Ángel |last3=Bastías |first3=Freddy |last4=Castillo |first4=Tito |last5=Herrera |first5=Rodrigo Fernando |last6=Alarcón |first6=Luis Fernando |date=2019-01-01 |title=Developing a benchmarking system for architecture design firms |url=https://doi.org/10.1108/ECAM-05-2018-0211 |journal=Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=139–152 |doi=10.1108/ECAM-05-2018-0211 |s2cid=115444460 |issn=0969-9988|url-access=subscription }} and by establishing a student-centered education that emphasizes multidisciplinarity, user-centered design and social responsibility as well as student flexibility and choice.{{Cite web |date=2018-03-30 |title=The Global State of the Art in Engineering Education |url=https://jwel.mit.edu/assets/document/global-state-art-engineering-education |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=MIT J-WEL |language=en |archive-date=2023-06-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602164101/https://jwel.mit.edu/assets/document/global-state-art-engineering-education |url-status=dead }} This initiative thus expects to provide a platform to work on societal grand challenges, to orchestrate effective I+E networks, and to build a world-class engineering community.

This consortium expects to transform these universities into world-class institutions, positioning them as the best engineering schools in Latinamerica by 2020 and among the best 50 engineering schools in the world by 2030.{{Cite web|url=http://opac.pucv.cl/pucv_txt/txt-1000/UCD1221_01.pdf|title=IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE UN PLAN ESTRATÉGICO - UNA NUEVA INGENIERÍA PARA EL 2030|last=DE LA LLERA MARTIN|first=J.
