The Industrial Technical Engineering degree in Spain refers to a university degree of between 3 to 5 academic years (depending on the study plan, it is for a technical engineering of 3 years or higher lasting 5 years). Until the University Reform of Bologna, the academic specialties offered by this engineering were:
• - Mechanics.
• - Industrial Electronics.
• - Electricity.
• - Industrial Chemistry.
• - Textile.
With the reform, 4-year academic degrees were created.
Professional responsibilities of Industrial Technical Engineers
The professional powers of Industrial Technical Engineers were regulated by Law 12/1986 of April 1. In his First Article, he says that technical engineers
"...they will have full powers and powers in the exercise of their profession within the scope of their respective technical specialty...".
Furthermore, Industrial Technical Engineers inherit the professional powers of the former industrial experts, Art. 1 of Royal Decree-Law 37/1977, of June 13, on the Powers of Industrial Experts.
The professional powers based on the Specialty are governed by what was declared in the Supreme Court Judgment of July 9, 2002. This ruling changes the jurisprudential line that had been applied until that moment and establishes the following:
"Industrial Technical Engineers have unlimited professional powers within their specialty and limited in the rest of the specialties with the quantitative limitations that were reflected in Art. 1 of Royal Decree-Law 37/1977, of June 13, on the Powers of Industrial Experts."
Therefore; Industrial Technical Engineers have full and unlimited powers within their specialty, and partially limited powers in other industrial specialties. These limitations in other industrial specialties are: mechanical, chemical or electrical industries or installations whose power does not exceed 250 HP, the voltage of 15,000 V and its staff of one hundred people, excluding administrative staff, subordinates and managers. The voltage limit will be 66,000 V when the installations refer to distribution lines and electric power substations.

Introduction
The Industrial Technical Engineering degree in Spain refers to a university degree of between 3 to 5 academic years (depending on the study plan, it is for a technical engineering of 3 years or higher lasting 5 years). Until the University Reform of Bologna, the academic specialties offered by this engineering were:
• - Mechanics.
• - Industrial Electronics.
• - Electricity.
• - Industrial Chemistry.
• - Textile.
With the reform, 4-year academic degrees were created.
Professional responsibilities of Industrial Technical Engineers
The professional powers of Industrial Technical Engineers were regulated by Law 12/1986 of April 1. In his First Article, he says that technical engineers
"...they will have full powers and powers in the exercise of their profession within the scope of their respective technical specialty...".
Furthermore, Industrial Technical Engineers inherit the professional powers of the former industrial experts, Art. 1 of Royal Decree-Law 37/1977, of June 13, on the Powers of Industrial Experts.
The professional powers based on the Specialty are governed by what was declared in the Supreme Court Judgment of July 9, 2002. This ruling changes the jurisprudential line that had been applied until that moment and establishes the following:
"Industrial Technical Engineers have unlimited professional powers within their specialty and limited in the rest of the specialties with the quantitative limitations that were reflected in Art. 1 of Royal Decree-Law 37/1977, of June 13, on the Powers of Industrial Experts."
Therefore; Industrial Technical Engineers have full and unlimited powers within their specialty, and partially limited powers in other industrial specialties. These limitations in other industrial specialties are: mechanical, chemical or electrical industries or installations whose power does not exceed 250 HP, the voltage of 15,000 V and its staff of one hundred people, excluding administrative staff, subordinates and managers. The voltage limit will be 66,000 V when the installations refer to distribution lines and electric power substations.
For the purposes provided for in this Law 12/1986, each of those listed in Decree 148/1969 of February 13 is considered a specialty:
a) Specialty: Mechanics. That relating to the manufacture and testing of machines, the execution of industrial structures and constructions, their assembly, installations and use, as well as metallurgical processes and their use.
b) Specialty: Electrical. That relating to the manufacture and testing of electrical machines, power plants, transport lines and distribution networks, automation, command, regulation and electromagnetic and electronic control devices, for their industrial applications, as well as the respective assemblies, installations and use.
c) Specialty: Industrial chemistry. That relating to chemical installations and processes and their assembly and use.
d) Specialty: Textile. That relating to textile industry facilities and processes, their assembly and use.
Subsequently, Decree 148/1969 was repealed, and the catalog of titles includes the academic titles of the Industrial Technical Engineering family, which are the following:
1- Industrial Technical Engineer in Electricity.
2- Industrial Technical Engineer in Industrial Electronics.
3- Industrial Technical Engineer in Mechanics.
4- Industrial Technical Engineer in Industrial Chemistry.
5- Industrial Technical Engineer in Textile.
And later, in 2004 and by statutory mandate, to these qualifications were added, with certain limitations, the academic qualification of:.
6- Technical Engineer in Industrial Design.
General powers:
In the Second Article of Law 12/1986, it says that the professional powers of Technical Engineers are the following:
a) The drafting and signing of projects whose purpose is the construction, renovation, repair, conservation, demolition, manufacturing, installation, assembly or exploitation of movable or immovable property, in their respective cases, both as main and accessory, provided that they are included by their nature and characteristics in the technique of each degree.
b) The direction of the activities that are the subject of the projects referred to in the previous section, even when the projects have been developed by a third party.
c) Carrying out measurements, calculations, valuations, appraisals, appraisals, studies, work reports and other similar work.
d) The exercise of teaching in its various degrees in the cases and terms provided for in the corresponding regulations and, in particular, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 11/1983, of August 25, on University Reform.
e) The management of all types of industries or operations and the exercise, in general with respect to them, of the activities referred to in the previous sections.
Other responsibilities:
There is an extensive range of Technical-Legal Regulations derived from Law 21/1992 on Industry, in terms of quality, environment and industrial safety, whose contents in any of the phases of design, projection, execution, start-up or maintenance rest on the powers of the Industrial Technical Engineers.
Building powers:
The powers of Industrial Technical Engineers in the construction and construction of buildings are governed by the Building Planning Law, Law 38/1999 of November 5.
The L.O.E. establishes three groups of buildings:
a) Administrative, health, religious, residential, educational and cultural.
b) Aeronautical, agricultural, energy, hydraulics, mining, telecommunications, land, maritime, river and air transportation, forestry, industrial, naval, sanitation and hygiene and accessory to engineering works and their exploitation.
c)All other buildings whose uses are not related to the previous groups.
Group a) only enables Architects. In group b) it enables Technical Engineers, Engineers and Architects. In group c) it enables Technical Engineers, Engineers, Architects and Technical Architects.
According to the LOE, the professionals in the different functions of a building, which qualifies Industrial Technical Engineers, are:
Construction Designer, in groups b and c.
Construction Director, in groups b and c.
Director of Work Execution, in groups b) and c), as long as the construction director in group b) is not an Architect (in this case, the practitioner would be the Technical Architect).
A concept that the Law categorically establishes is that the project will necessarily be completed through partial projects on the building's facilities, and due coordination must be maintained between the respective authors, each assuming ownership of their project.
Concluding:
Industrial Technical Engineers are fully authorized to carry out building projects of Groups b) and c).
Also outside the LOE; They are fully authorized to carry out complementary technical projects of all groups (a, b, and c) for which they are currently qualified (such as electricity, heating, plumbing, lifting devices, etc., whose intervention they establish, for example, in the R.E.B.T., the R.I.T.E., the NBE-CPI, the NBE-CA, etc.).

Title history
The current career is a continuation of that historically known as industrial expert. Towards the end of the 1840s, the degree of industrial engineer was created, whose functions were specified by the Royal Decree of September 4, 1850.[1] Starting in 1904, the competitive examination process was regularized, according to the Regulations of April 1905.
The name "Industrial Technical Engineering" has always been both a university academic degree and a professional degree. Since the implementation in Spain of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA, better known as Bologna), the generic names of university academic titles became: Degree, Master and Doctor, the university academic title no longer coinciding with that of the Profession; Subsequently and through Order CIN/351/2009, of February 9 (http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2009/02/20/pdfs/BOE-A-2009-2893.pdf), the requirements of the study plans leading to obtaining the Degree titles that qualify for the exercise of the Profession of Industrial Technical Engineer were established.
