ETSEIB

The School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona (Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria Industrial de Barcelona in Catalan, abbreviated ETSEIB) is a university school that is part of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Polytechnic University of Catalonia, UPC).

The School of Engineering of Barcelona was created in 1851, absorbing the technical and scientific schools that the Junta de Comerç (trade council, a sort of chamber of commerce) had gradually created beginning in 1769.

Classes were initially held in the former convent of Sant Sebastià (which no longer exists), close to the La Llotja building.

In 1873, the School moved to a building on Plaça de la Universitat.

The ETSEIB is the biggest engineering school in Catalonia, with more than 3100 students and about 410 professors.
