Abstract :
Engineering education in Spain has a long tradition exceeding 150 years. Its traditional character has always been complemented by an effort to work with the social, industrial and international environment of each era. The last great change has taken place in the last ten years (1986-1996) by: (1) expanding the number of engineering degrees offered; and (2) profoundly changing the various curricula. Spain has a dual system based on two engineering degrees: The Technical Engineer or First Cycle Engineer; and the Engineer or Second Cycle Engineer. Access from one degree to the other is guaranteed by a cyclical education system
