All manufacturing processes require electrical energy to function, making engineers with the knowledge and ability to design and plan systems for the generation, transmission, distribution, and use of electrical energy essential to industrial work. Likewise, the integration of renewable energies into the energy sector is one of the challenges of Electrical Engineering, a field of work that is constantly expanding and developing internationally.

Electrical Engineering deals with the design, construction, manufacturing, installation and maintenance of electrical machines, installations or systems in the activities of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electrical energy. 

In the Electrical Engineering specialization of the Master's in Industrial Engineering, you will learn to design and plan electrical power generation facilities (Power Plants), including renewable energy sources (Electrical Systems and Renewable Integration), high-voltage electrical installations (Substations and High-Voltage Lines; Electrical System Protection), and electrical machinery, including electrically powered transportation (Machines, Drives, and Electric Mobility). You will also learn to model and analyze the behavior of electrical systems (Power Systems) and delve into topics such as the management of electrical grids with a high level of distributed generation and self-consumption (Smart Grids), and the contracting of electricity supply and the operation of electricity markets (Regulation and Economics of the Electricity Sector).

In the 2025/26 academic year, the first-year courses will be offered, and in 2026/27, the second-year courses. These courses are taken concurrently with the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering ( GITI-2010 ). The following table shows the correspondence between the courses in this specialization and those in GITI-2010.
