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:
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“I note what you say of the late disturbances in your College. These dissensions are a great affliction on the American schools, and a principal impediment to education in this country.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
