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 physical and domestic education of daughters should occupy the principal attention of mothers, in childhood: and the stimulation of the intellect should be very much reduced.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
