HISTORY

Agricultural Technical Engineering studies began to be taught at the Polytechnic University School of Cartagena in 1983. The Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineers (ETSIA) was created in Cartagena in 1996, being the University of Murcia. When the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) was created in 1998, the School changed its current name.

Located in the Paseo Alfonso XIII of Cartagena, currently has 75 teachers, belonging to 7 Departments.

The Department of Agronomic Engineering provides 45 professors, teaching almost exclusively in the different degrees taught at the center.

The ETSIA building has a classroom where the teaching of its degrees is taught and has 33 laboratories, 14 for teaching and 19 for research. Teaching laboratories have capacity for 16-20 jobs, enough to accommodate the laboratory practice groups.

Given the practical nature of these degrees and the research generated by the 12 research groups attached to ETSIA, laboratories are kept up to date with the most innovative equipment, in order to train students in the most modern technologies.
