Aerospace Engineering - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería

Welcome to the School of Aeronautics and Aerospace
Engineering
-
Technical University of Madrid (UPM)-
THE SCHOOL OF AERONAUTICS AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
(Escuela de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio (EIAE )
was formed in 2010 through the merger of two aeronautical engineering schools with a long standing tradition
:
the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Aeronáuticos (ETSIA)
and
the Escuela Universitaria de Ingeniería Tecnica Aeronáutica (EUITA)
(1929 Building at Cuatro Vientos Airport, housing the ETSIA and also the EUITA, ten years later)
In this way the two aeronautical centers of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) have joined their
efforts and assets to meet the demands of the 21st century aerospace engineer.
Location
EIAE’s main buildings are located In the center of
Madrid, within the university campus of Ciudad
Universitaria
Other associated institutes and laboratories are
at suburban technological parks
