This last degree, which expires with the degrees, began at the EPS in the 1997/98 academic year. The teaching experience supports the teaching staff of the EPS. The Degree in Mechanical Engineering gives women access, among others, to university master's degrees in the field of Industrial Engineering, with prior admission by the body responsible for the master's degree, which qualifies them for the profession of Industrial Engineer.

In addition, if you are interested in Mechanical Engineering and salary good students, in the Escuela Politècnica Superior you can also study the Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Energy and Sustainability Engineering that begins the academic year 2020-21.

The general objective of the new degree in Mechanical Engineering is to provide adequate training of European profile and general character on the theoretical and technical bases and technologies that enable the exercise of the profession of industrial technical engineer, framed in a capacity for continuous improvement and of knowledge transmission.

From the teaching point of view, it is committed to continuous assessment, active pedagogical methodologies and professional orientation, at the same time as students are introduced to the professional world. A notable advantage is the coordination of the programs of the different subjects, to guarantee a series of basic knowledge and to avoid the duplicity.

Even if they decide to continue their university education, it will be possible to access master's studies. You can enjoy direct access to the Master in Industrial Engineering, which is taught in Lleida.

To implement the Degree in Mechanical Engineering, which is organized in person, the Escuela Politècnica Superior offers:

• Validations of Higher Degree Training Cycles (CFGS) to the Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

• Small groups that facilitate the exchange with the teachers and a more careful follow-up of the work done by the student.

• Continuous evaluation.

• Block curricular qualification of the subjects corresponding to the same academic year Individualized tutorials.

• To the EPS each student has a tutor assigned to whom he can address before any question related to his studies. Within the Néstor program of tutorials, mechanisms of attention in the student are established.

• Incorporation of active methodologies Compulsory supervised internships that allow the employment of graduates (75 annual internship offers).

• The possibility of carrying out these practices at the international level. Final Degree Project with tutoring and continuous evaluation.

• The possibility of carrying out the TFG within the company.

The industrial engineering programmes at the Polytechnic School are designed in order to offer flexibility to students to decide which of the 5 degrees in the industial field they want to enrole:

• Mechanical Engineering (Campus Lleida)
• Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering
• Energy Engineering and Sustainability
• Chemical engineering
• Engineering in Industrial Organization and Logistics.

Students willing to enroll in any of these programmes, need to pre-register for a single common entrance for each of the campuses. Thus, the student can choose which of the two campuses he will attend  during the first two years, and can change his campus during the 3rd and 4th year, if he wishes (depending on the degree he wants to study). University pre-registration tickets are:

• On the Lleida campus: "Energy and Sustainability Engineering / Engineering in Industrial and Automatic Electronics / Mechanical Engineering (Agrupación) (Lleida)"
• On the Igualada campus: "Chemical Engineering / Engineering in Industrial Organization and Logistics (Grouping) (Igualada)"

Hence, the common core of industrial engineering gives students more time to decide which degree they want to pursue. This decision is postponed until the 3rd year, when the student is well acquainted with the different branches of the industrial field.

Order CIN/351/2009 establishes which bachelor degrees  qualify for the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer. At the Polytechnic School, the degrees offered with these professional attributions are:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Degree in Automation and Industrial Electronic Engineering.
• Degree in Chemical Engineering.

Furthermore, the Polytechnic School also offers two other degrees in the field of industrial engineering:

• Degree in Industrial Organization and Logistics Engineering.
• Degree in Energy and Sustainability Engineering.

These degrees offer specialized training in two branches of industrial engineering, and also give direct access to the Master in Industrial Engineering, which allows you to achieve the professional qualifications of Industrial Engineer.

The Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering & Energy and Environmental Engineering with the Finnish university of Novia University of Applied Sciences (Novia UAS) was born with the desire to enable students of both universities to achieve this second degree by strengthening and complementing their academic profile and professionalism in the world of energy and the environment (for UdL students going to Finland) enabling them to face their future job challenges with greater guarantees of success, as well as consolidating English, which is becoming a language of daily use both in his daily life as an academic.

Since the double degree is conveyed through the mobility processes offered by the UdL, it is not until the 3rd year of the Degree in Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering that students can access this double degree (and accredit the B2 level of English required), which offers the opportunity to study at least one academic year (10 months or 2 semesters) at the other university and receive, with the same duration as the UdL Degree, also the degree from the other institution.

Novia UAS is a university campus scattered like the UdL distributed in different cities in the western part of Finland. Campus Vasa is located in the city of Vaasa, a beautiful city on the west coast of Finland next to an archipelago considered a world heritage site. This campus offers studies on technology, business administration, health and wellness.

The languages ​​spoken are Finnish and Swedish, which despite being the second official language in Finland, spoken by 5% of the population, is the main language of instruction for brides since 25% of the population of Finland Vaasa speaks it.

With 13,000 students, the city is perfectly suited to students, especially engineering since it is the largest energy group in Scandinavia, with an industry that exports worth millions of thousands of euros a year.

Novia UAS is one of the founders of the Technobothnia research center. It reinforces the region's claim to be an important center of technical knowledge. The unique collaboration between three different universities guarantees a well-equipped and versatile laboratory unit. The center creates is a good place to cultivate for new and innovative forms of collaboration with clear benefits, not only for the staff and students of Novia, but also for industry and the economy.

The Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering & Mechanical Engineering with the Brazilian University of Facens was born with the desire to enable students from both universities to obtain a second degree at a foreign university that enables them to face their future challenges with greater guarantees of success. as well as learning a new language such as Portuguese.

Since the double degree is conveyed through the mobility processes offered by the UdL, it is not until the 3rd year of the Degree in Mechanical Engineering that students can access this double degree, which offers the opportunity to study a academic year (10 months or 2 semesters) at the other university and receive, with the same duration as the UdL Degree, also the title of the other institution. In addition, for Brazilian students it means the possibility of accessing Master's studies in Industrial Engineering.

The Facens School of Engineering is located in the city of Sorocaba. The city, founded in 1654, is located 90 km from São Paulo and has 670,000 inhabitants. FACENS is the first higher education institution in the sector founded in Sorocaba and which won the Higher Award in institutional concept from the Ministry of Education in 2018 among other awards other institutions. It has recently become a full-fledged university offering not only engineering studies, but others. FACENS is an entrepreneurial institution with many and diverse laboratories and innovation centers (Smart Campus, LIGA Facens, Ipeas, FabLab ...) oriented to the professional sector and development, but also open to all students who want to participate. We must also highlight the sustainable development objectives involved in all its projects
