What is engineering
THIS IS HOW WE DEFINE IT
An engineer is trained to find solutions to many of the problems that arise in today's society. The training given at Degree engineering provides students with a series of theoretical and practical resources that will be essential when adapting to new situations in different fields or when embarking on new adventures, such as starting up a company.
The knowledge that students acquire enables them to solve a wide range of problems not only technical problems, but also operational and organizational problems within companies in many fields, both in the industrial and service sectors. In addition, engineers also possess a scientific profile that enables them to work in the field of research.
