4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Oviedo

Program Overview

The Bachelor’s Degree in Ingeniería Electrónica Industrial y Automática at the University of Oviedo trains students to become skilled engineers capable of designing, managing, and improving electronic and automated systems in industrial settings. It is ideal for creative problem-solvers who enjoy combining electronics, control systems, and industrial applications, covering core topics such as electrical engineering fundamentals, automation, signal processing, and electronic design.

Curriculum Structure

First Year
In the first year, students build a solid foundation in engineering fundamentals with subjects such as Álgebra Lineal, Cálculo, Fundamentos de Informática, Empresa, and Mecánica y Termodinámica. This year develops the mathematical tools and technical understanding needed for electronics and automation, while introducing engineering problem-solving and industrial concepts.

Second Year
The second year focuses on expanding technical knowledge through subjects like Electrónica Analógica, Electrónica Digital, Electrotecnia, Automatización Industrial, and Instrumentación Electrónica. Students learn how electronic components and control systems interact in industrial applications, connecting theory with practical experience.

Third Year
In the third year, students take more specialised subjects such as Regulación Automática, Electrónica de Potencia, Informática Industrial, and Gestión de la Producción. This stage bridges the gap between design and implementation, showing how electronics and control systems operate within production environments and industrial processes.

Fourth Year
The final year includes Proyectos de Ingeniería and the Trabajo Fin de Grado, allowing students to apply their learning to a major engineering project. Electives such as Control Inteligente, Sistemas Robóticos Industriales, or Domótica let students specialise in robotics, intelligent control, or smart systems according to their career interests.
