On February 23, reports were received confirming that the Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering, the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering , and the Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications Technology Engineering have successfully passed the review required by the EUR-ACE® Label , extending their validity until 2025. This means that graduates of these degrees will have this distinction of excellence in their engineering studies.

These 4 degrees were the first to receive the EUR-ACE International Quality Label accreditation at ETSi, which already has this distinction in all its undergraduate studies.

EUR-ACE International Quality Seal

The EUR-ACE® Programme is a collaborative project involving 38 countries, primarily European, and supported by national evaluation agencies, such as ANECA in the case of Spain, which conducts the evaluations in each country. The EUR-ACE® Label is a certificate awarded by an agency authorized by the European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE)  to a university for an undergraduate or master's degree in engineering evaluated according to a set of defined standards, in accordance with the principles of quality, relevance, transparency, recognition, and mobility established within the European Higher Education Area. Therefore, the Institute of Engineering of Spain (IIE), as one of the country's leading institutions for the engineering profession, and ANECA, as the main player in the degree accreditation renewal process in Spain, are collaborating to promote the quality and international recognition of Spanish undergraduate and master's degrees in engineering.

Obtaining the EUR-ACE® Label represents recognition for the Center's excellence in training engineering professionals across a multitude of disciplines. It is precisely the diversity of degrees offered by the ETSi that distinguishes it from other schools at the national level and is positively valued in obtaining the Label. In particular, the EUR-ACE® Label certifies that graduates of the evaluated degrees:

• They meet the quality criteria established and agreed by international quality assurance agencies in higher education, based on international standards recognized by employers in Europe. 
   
• It recognizes the quality of the degree both within and outside the country where it is taught, and this recognition serves as an incentive for potential students to choose it. 
   
• It assures employers of graduates of a degree that the knowledge and practical skills of graduates meet a series of international education standards in the field of the Seal's degree.

The ETSi Management continues to promote the development and modernization of the engineering degrees offered at the center, ensuring the quality of the curricula and teaching within the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and of the ETSi's common services. This results in a better and more efficient service to the society to which the School is accountable. In particular, the ETSi intends to submit the remaining Master's degrees in Engineering for evaluation.
