On February 23, reports were received proving that the Degree in Aerospace Engineering, the Degree in Chemical Engineering , the Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering and the Degree in Telecommunications Technology Engineering have successfully passed the review required by the EUR-ACE® Seal to be able to extend its validity until 2025. In this way, graduates of these degrees will have this distinction of excellence in their engineering studies.

These 4 Degrees were the first to receive the accreditation of the EUR-ACE International Quality Seal at the ETSi , which already has this distinction in all its Degree studies.

EUR-ACE International Quality Seal

The EUR-ACE® Program is a collaborative project in which 38 countries, mainly European, participate, and which is supported by national evaluation agencies, ANECA in the case of Spain, which carry out evaluations in each country. The EUR-ACE® Seal is a certificate granted by an agency authorized by the European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE) to a university regarding a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering evaluated according to a series of defined standards, according to with the principles of quality, relevance, transparency, recognition and mobility contemplated in the European Higher Education Area. For this reason, the Spanish Engineering Institute (IIE), as one of the country's most representative institutions of the engineering profession, and ANECA , as the main actor in the process of renewing the accreditation of degrees in Spain, lead carry out a joint collaboration that promotes the quality and international recognition of Spanish bachelor's and master's degrees in the field of engineering.

Obtaining the EUR-ACE® Seal represents recognition for the Center of excellence in the training of engineering professionals in a multitude of disciplines. It is precisely the diversity of degrees taught by the ETSi, which distinguishes it from other schools at the state level and which is positively valued for obtaining the Seal. In particular, the EUR-ACE® Seal 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 inside and outside the country where it is taught, this recognition being an incentive for potential students to choose it. 
   
• It assures employers of degree graduates that the knowledge and practical skills of degree graduates meet a series of international educational standards in the field of the Seal degree.

The Management of the ETSi continues, promoting the development and modernization of the engineering degrees taught at the center, ensuring the quality of the study plans and teaching within the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) , and the common services of the ETSi, which results in a better and more efficient service to the Society to which the School is indebted. In particular, it is the intention of the ETSi to subject the remaining Master's degrees in Engineering to evaluation.
