The Julio
Garavito Colombian School of Engineering (Escuela
Colombiana de Ingeniería
“JULIO GARAVITO”) was founded in 1972 to train professionals by
providing them, in a spirit of social solidarity, with a comprehensive
high-quality education in the scientific and technological fields,
with a focus on personal development.
The School currently offers professional training
courses in civil, systems, industrial, and electrical engineering,
electronics, mathematics, economics, and management, as well as seven
specializations in various engineering branches. It has over 4,300
undergraduate and graduate students and a magnificent 71-acre campus.
It also has fully equipped laboratories, state-of-the-art computer and
communications infrastructure, a library that subscribes to
specialized journals, Internet connections to national and
international networks, teaching aids of all types, and well-designed
classrooms and facilities.
The School has concluded inter-institutional
cooperation agreements with various foreign universities, among them:
the University of Salamanca and the Polytechnic University of Madrid
(Spain); the Technological University of Troyes, the National
Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse and the National School of Engineers
of Metz (France); and the Monterrey Technological Institute (Mexico).
The
Center for
Telematic Studies (Centro de Estudios en Telemática) is part of
the School’s Faculty of Systems Engineering, which opened its doors in
1985. The Center designed, implemented, and initially administered the
LAN and WAN networks that support all of the School’s academic and
administrative activities. In addition, the Center organized the
Diploma Program in Telematics and E-Business, which has graduated 11
classes (the three most recent of which were taught entirely through
Internet-based distance education). Further, in 2002 the Center
developed a
Specialization in Telematics and E-Business (Especialización en
Telemática y Negocios por Internet), which is now training its third
class of students.
The
Connectivity Agenda --the national government agency responsible
for establishing and disseminating IT technologies in the country--has
recognized the high quality and relevance of this program by including
it from the outset in the Summit Project, which is intended to foster
and facilitate access to graduate programs in information
technologies, systems engineering, information science, computer
science, telematics, electronics, telecommunications, and related
programs in the selected institutions. The Center has an excellent
teaching staff and is supported by a respected group of lecturers
(external advisors in the area of ICTs) with broad experience in the
application of said technologies.
