Carlos Castillo (ChaTo)’s Honors:
In 2000 I received the Ismael Valdes Valdes award from the Institute of Engineers of Chile. This is awarded to an engineering graduate having both good academic performance and leadership qualities.
In 1993 I obtained the highest national score (50 correct answers on 50 questions) in the PCE (like the SAT exam in the USA) of Physics when I applied for entering the Engineering School.
