ETSII UPM

What ETSII UPM does

ETSII UPM (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales) is a public technical engineering school and a faculty of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), headquartered at José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, Madrid, Spain. Founded in 1845, it is one of Spain's oldest and most prestigious engineering schools and offers three undergraduate degrees (Industrial Technologies Engineering, Organization Engineering, Chemical Engineering), a habilitating Master in Industrial Engineering that qualifies graduates for the regulated profession of Industrial Engineer, plus 13 additional postgraduate master's programs. The school also runs doctoral research across eight wholly-owned research centers and institutes covering industrial electronics (CEI), automation and robotics (CAR), railway technologies (CITEF), mechanical modeling (CEMIM), laser technology (Centro Láser), nuclear fusion (Instituto de Fusión Nuclear "Guillermo Velarde"), automotive research (INSIA), and industrial innovation support (FFII).

The school's core technology activity is concentrated at the Centro de Electrónica Industrial (CEI), which pursues industrial electronics research and offers a Master and Doctorate in Industrial Electronics. Notable technical components include RISC-V Systems on Chip short courses built on UC Berkeley's open-source Chipyard framework, the DEEP-PPU electric propulsion research project with a 2025 webinar series, and co-organization of the Workshop on Designing Sustainable Intelligent Systems at DATE 2025. The CEI participates in the UPM Microelectronics Initiative (conceived in 2023, governance installed in January 2026 with Professor Javier Uceda as coordinator) and runs an Industrial Council connecting academic research with industrial partners. ETSII UPM also engages in international mobility through approximately 200 partner universities with 40 years of exchange experience, resulting in 80% of final-year students undertaking part of their studies abroad.

As a public Spanish university institution, ETSII UPM operates under the tuition structure of UPM and the Spanish Ministry of Universities and is governed by the UPM hierarchy rather than operating as a commercial entity. Its core customers are undergraduate, master's, and doctoral engineering students; its secondary stakeholders are industrial and academic partners participating in the Industrial Council and joint research projects, plus incoming international exchange students via bilateral university agreements. No revenue, pricing details, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available sources, consistent with its status as a government state entity.
