Education
Traditionally, in Spain there were two levels of technical studies. For engineering studies there was a 3-year degree called Ingeniero Técnico (Technical Assistant Engineer) and a 5 or 6-year degree called Ingeniero (Engineer). In the case of architecture studies there was a 3-year degree called Arquitecto Técnico (Technical Assistant Architect) and a 5 or 6-year degree called Arquitecto (Architect). Those degrees disappeared as a result of the Bologna process and the new structure features 4-year degrees with master's degrees on top. That approach of integrated long-cycle (5 or 6-year) undergraduate degrees followed the formerly widespread tradition of technical universities in Continental Europe, that awarded their students an Engineer's degree, being that degree comparable to a master's degree.
Some of the degrees still or partially offered at the UPM are:
- Aerospace Engineering (Ingeniería Aeroespacial)
- Agriculture Engineering (Ingeniería Agronómica)
- Architecture (Arquitectura)
- Chemical Engineering (Ingeniería Química)
- Computer Science, Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering and Information Systems (Ingeniería en Informática)
- Civil Engineering (Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos)
- Electronics, Information Technology and Telecommunications Engineering (Ingeniero de Telecomunicación)
- Geology Engineering (Ingeniero Geólogo)
- Industrial and Electrical Engineering (Ingeniería Industrial)
- Forest Engineering (Ingeniería de Montes)
- Mine Engineering (Ingeniería de Minas)
- Naval Engineering (Ingeniería Naval)

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“In that reconciling of God and Mammon which Mrs. Grantly had carried on so successfully in the education of her daughter, the organ had not been required, and had become withered, if not defunct, through want of use.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“... education fails in so far as it does not stir in students a sharp awareness of their obligations to society and furnish at least a few guideposts pointing toward the implementation of these obligations.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“There used to be housekeepers with more energy than sense—the everlasting scrubber; the over-neat woman. Since the better education of woman has come to stay, this type of woman has disappeared almost, if not entirely.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
