Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Railway Systems
Vilanova i la Geltrú School of Engineering (EPSEVG)
The bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Railway Systems provides specific scientific and technological training in the field of electrical engineering, with an emphasis on railway systems, both in its industrial component and in project development and technological innovation. The aim is to provide students with tools that allow them to access qualified jobs in which they will hone the professional skills set out in Law 12/1986 or that require specific instruction in railways.
Students are trained in the fundamentals of science and engineering that allow them to supervise and manage engineering projects that involve designing, analysing, constructing, checking and maintaining systems and equipment for the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electric power. Other fundamental training objectives specific to the railway sector are its organisation and structure and the systems of which it is composed: electrification systems, safety and signalling systems, communications systems, installations and maintenance of rolling stock. Aspects of managing and operating railway systems are also considered.
