The Degree in Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering certifies students to work in the regulated profession of Technical Industrial Engineer. This programme is regulated by ministerial order CIN/351/2009 of 9th February 2009 (BOE 20th February 2009).

This programme falls within the framework of degrees related to Industrial Engineering. Industrial Engineering covers all necessary technologies, services and applications in industrial settings. A wide variety of fields that give rise to different degree certifications are part of industrial technologies such as: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Chemical Engineering, Textile Engineering and this programme in Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering.

This degree programme will train students in the analysis, planning, design, optimisation and control of goods and services production, taking into account economic, technological and social aspects. The degree is focussed on the specific technology in industrial and automatic electronics, meaning it covers a variety of applied technology fields. In this sense, it includes topics on electricity, industrial electronics, system control, automation of industrial processes, electric engines and their control, energy, IT, designing industrial plants, etc. Students will learn to design, specify and analyse systems using their wide, general knowledge and methods in mathematics, physics, social sciences...
