It started with four workshops: Mining, Mechanics, Casting and Carpentry. At the time, students ages ranged between 15 and 18 years old, thus making the EAO not a university, but a secondary education entity. Students were required to read and write and to know basic arithmetic operations. Besides being intensely trained in workshops, students studied algebra, descriptive geometry, trigonometry, technical drawing, industrial mechanics, physics and chemistry, besides Spanish, history and geography. This was a four-year education that later, in 1858, extended to five years. Graduates were called &#8216;apprentices&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1886 the EAO moved to a bigger building, located at Quinta Normal, where it would stay up until now. In 1912 it started to educate &#8216;industrial sub-engineers&#8217;, later known as &#8216;technicians&#8217;. By the time, the EAO was able to grant two education level degrees: Arts and Crafts degrees (secondary education level) and Technician degrees (tertiary education level), and by 1936 it granted Industrial Engineering degrees too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FB-000560-1-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FB-000560-1-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FB-000560-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FB-000560-1-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FB-000560-1.jpeg 1190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037-300x231.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037-1024x789.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037-768x592.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FD-000037-1536x1183.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Universidad T\u00e9cnica del Estado<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/UTE-1-1024x751.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/UTE-1-1024x751.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/UTE-1-300x220.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/UTE-1-768x563.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/UTE-1.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"873\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0031.pdf-1-wpv_x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0031.pdf-1-wpv_x600.jpg 873w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0031.pdf-1-wpv_x600-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0031.pdf-1-wpv_x600-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"922\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0044.pdf-1-wpv_x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0044.pdf-1-wpv_x600.jpg 922w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0044.pdf-1-wpv_x600-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TI-DIG-0044.pdf-1-wpv_x600-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Later during the presidency of Gabriel Gonz\u00e1lez Videla through the DFL Decree No. 1831 of April 9, 1947, the School of Arts and Crafts was joined with the School of Mining in Copiap\u00f3 (1857), La Serena (1887) and Antofagasta (1918), with the Industrial Design Schools (1905) in Temuco (1916) and Valdivia (1934), with the Industrial Engineering Schools in Santiago (1940) and with the Technical Pedagogy Institute. Together these formed the Technical State University (Universidad T\u00e9cnica del Estado, UTE), resulting in it becoming the best Chilean university in the area of applied engineering and industrial technician training. On February 8, 1952, the first statute that allowed the grouping to begin functioning as a university in legal, administrative and academic terms, was enacted. Its first president was Don Octavio Valenzuela Lazo (March 12, 1952 to March 12, 1953). In 1958, the Teknos, the university&#8217;s troupe, was founded. Academic activity remained in the hands of the four Faculty Councils under the tuition of the University Council. During the 1960s, the DFL No. 2, 1971, allowed for the enacting of a second organizational statute, which allowed the university to be organized through offices, colleges, departments, and all academic structures that the board would deem appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In 1968 due to the University Reform of 1967\u20131973, Enrique Kirberg Baltiansky assumed the rectory, the only university rector fully elected by faculty and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In 1971, during the government of Salvador Allende, Revised Statutes of the Universidad T\u00e9cnica del Estado were approved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 1973 coup, Kirberg was removed from his post and imprisoned by the military regime, the statute previously approved was declared void, and new guidelines were reformulated with appointments done entirely by the military regime.<br>The musician and poet V\u00edctor Jara, who worked as a professor at the university, was arrested by Pinochet&#8217;s forces, tortured and murdered days later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Universidad de Santiago de Chile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1981, the military regime through the DFL Decree No. 23 of March 21, 1981, divided the headquarters of the State Technical University, giving rise to new universities and professional institutes. Steps were taken to form the headquarters into the University of Santiago de Chile. The other sites became separately named universities such as the University of Atacama, the University of Antofagasta, the University of Serena, the Professional Institute of Talca (later transformed into the University of Talca), the University of the B\u00edo-B\u00edo, the University of La Frontera, the Professional Institute of Osorno (subsequently transformed into the University of Los Lagos), the Professional Institute of Valdivia (later integrated in 1988 into the Southern University of Chile) and the Magellan Professional Institute (later transformed into the University of Magallanes). The University of Santiago de Chile, near the University of Atacama and the University of Magallanes are the only heirs of the traditional State Technical University, because at the time of the dissolution and the creation of the new universities in 1981, the headquarters (Santiago), Copiap\u00f3 and Punta Arenas, were not integrated with other university offices. The headquarters is located where the old School of Arts and Crafts used to be in the municipality of Estaci\u00f3n Central. One of its symbols is the planetarium built in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Artboard-2-1024x963.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Artboard-2-1024x963.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Artboard-2-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Artboard-2-768x722.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sacvlc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Artboard-2.png 1051w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Santiago, Chile (USACH) is a public research university located in the city of Santiago, Chile.
