General information
- 240 ECTS
- 4 years
- The bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering qualifies students for the practice of the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer, developed in the CIN/351/2009 Order, so that graduates should acquire general and specific skills under the aforementioned Order
- Graduates will possess all the competencies needed to draw up and sign off on projects, direct construction works, or teach in private and public institutions. In particular, those covered by the legal Act 12/1986 from April 1st that covers regulations affecting the scope of professional activities of Architecs and Technical Engineers, and by Royal Decree 37/1977 from June 13th that covers the activities of Industrial Surveyors. This degree qualifies you to work as a Industrial Technical Engineer specialising in Mechanics (Order CIN/351/2009 from February 9th)

Specific Skills
Students must have:
- We also recommend students have a basic understanding of English, equivalent to that needed for baccalaureate and university entrance (PAU) exams
- We also highly value the following personal traits : showing initiative, the ability to work in a team, personal autonomy, working well under pressure, leadership skills, showing responsibility and interest in putting theory into practice for real-world problems. Finally, we would like to stress that manual skills will be needed throughout the course, and once finished, in order to operate machinery
- A solid foundation in maths, physics, chemistry, and technical drawing; good observation and analytical skills; the ability to quickly perform numerical calculations and resolve quantifiable problems; and possess abstract and logical reasoning skills. Likewise, it is important to be able to use mathmatical models to establish a relationship between observable reality and the description of this reality
