National Technological University
The National Technological University is a national university of Argentina, which specializes in the teaching of engineering sciences. It's the second one in size, behind Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) which has 300.000 students in excess. However, due to the technical-only approach of the engineering courses, UTN is the first one in Engineering careers. Its 22 branches are located by the country's main cities and locations with relevant economic importance. The following engineering courses are taught in most of those locations:
Aeronautical engineering
Electronic engineering
Electrical engineering
Mechanical engineering
Civil engineering
Chemical engineering
Systems engineering
Industrial engineering
Students completing a five calendar-year program (typically after passing 45 final exams) earn an engineering diploma. It is currently going through a modernisation of analytic programs ("adecuacion curricular"), and some careers have passed through a certification process ordered by the government.
It is the only public university in the country with unique focus in engineering. In fact, almost every academic offer ends in an Engineer degree, with some post-graduate courses arising last years. Many of the offered careers have an intermediate diploma. It provides almost 50% of the young engineers in Argentina, and projections indicate that this trend will reach 75% by 2010-2012. Due to its strongly federal approach, it is the only University with physical presence across the country.
In 2004, UTN have twenty-four thousand students in Systems Engineering, perhaps one of the most important in number of students worldwide in this discipline.
