he National Technological University has its institutional origin in the National Workers University, created by means of Law No. 13,229, sanctioned on August 19, 1948 after extensive debates, promulgated on 26 and published in the Official Gazette on August 31 of the same anus.
In reality, the National Workers University was born some time before, by an initiative of the Engineer Pascual Pezzano, professor of Mechanical Technology at the Otto Krause Industrial School. Pezzano, author of specialized books, made a trip to Europe visiting the best polytechnics in the world. Upon his return, and outside of class hours, he invited the students to participate in meetings, the purpose of which was to share their experiences abroad. In those meetings, back in 1940, he explained that he had developed the project of a Higher Technical Institute for the Otto Krause school graduates who wanted to continue their studies in their specialty. In those years the Faculty of Engineering of the UBA did not exist (founded in 1952), and the specialty was studied in the Faculty of Exact Sciences.
Uriel Rubén Cukierman received a professional degree in Electronic Engineering from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Argentina, and a master’s degree in Enterprise Information Systems Management from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain. He is presently working on his PhD thesis in the area of Learning Sciences at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina.
We are honored to announce that our Rising to the Top book series has added TWO new volumes!
Rising to the Top provides an intimate and inspiring look into the experiences that have shaped the lives and careers of women engineering leaders from around the world. By openly sharing their personal journeys in these pages, the authors hope to not only inspire the next generation of engineering leaders, but also provide valuable insight into the challenges facing women engineers around the world, and the opportunities that are theirs for the taking.
