University School of Industrial Engineering of Gijón

The January 20 of 1888 Gijón opens in a school district of the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, installed in the street Institute, in the building that later would become headquarters Spain bank branch in Gijon. Would this School of Arts and Crafts in Gijon which by decree 1377/1972 of 10 May should become '' School of Engineering of Gijón '' integrated into the University of Oviedo.

In 1929 returns to rename '' Higher School of Work '' in 1942 and '' School of Industrial Experts''. By Royal Decree 1457/1991 of 27 September, the '' School of Industrial Engineering of the Center of Integrated Teaching of Gijon '' joined the '' College of Engineering Technique Gijón ''.

Technical School of Computer Engineering and Telematics Gijon

The E.U. Gijon Computing was created in 1982. Its first steps run from the hand of Department of Trade, Tourism and Social Sciences Jovellanos , EU Business Studies "Jovellanos" Gijon with which it shares government bodies, facilities and personnel.

A Council of Universities, dated July 20, 1992 changed its name to EUIT Computer Gijon. During 1992 to 1993 it enters into force a new curriculum and begin to be taught degrees of Technical Engineer in Computer Management and Technical Engineering in Computer Systems. In 1994-95 new facilities Aulario Viesques Campus, where the Centre's management is definitely located, the Library Administrative Services and the Student are inaugurated.
