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:
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
