National Polytechnic School
The National Polytechnic School (Spanish: ''Escuela Politécnica Nacional''), also known as EPN, is a public university in Quito, Ecuador. Located in the suburb of El Giron, the main campus encompasses ten teaching and research faculties, in addition to four technical and specialized institutes. EPN was founded in 1869 with the aim of becoming the first technical and technological center in the country. Since its beginnings, EPN adopted the polytechnic university model, which stresses laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering. Thus, the faculty members of EPN have traditionally been involved in both research and teaching activities simultaneously, with lectures, seminars, and laboratory demonstrations being key elements of systematic investigation and student instruction.
EPN is known for research and education in both pure science and applied science, with research groups advancing the fields of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, geophysics, astronomy, atmospheric physics, telecommunications engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and physical sciences.
EPN has been consistently ranked among the top universities (the so-called Group A) in Ecuador by CEAACES (Board of Assessment, Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education in Ecuador).〔((Board of Assessment, Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education in Ecuador) National Polytechnic School ).〕 In addition, Webometrics has placed EPN 2nd in Ecuador, 103th in Latin America and 1749th in the world in its 2015 Ranking Web of Universities 〔((Ranking web of Universities in Latin America) ).〕
==History==
The National Polytechnic School was founded on August 27, 1869 by the National Convention of Ecuador and the former Ecuadorian President Gabriel García Moreno. For this purpose, García Moreno hired members of a German Jesuit religious order to manage the university and the Quito Astronomical Observatory. Juan Bautista Menten, Teodoro Wolf and Luis Sodiro were among the first scientists who visited EPN. The newborn institution was conceived as the first research center of Ecuador and was created with the purpose of contributing to the scientific and technological development of the country. EPN is the second-oldest public university in Ecuador, after Central University of Ecuador. The university remained closed during some decades, until 1935, when Ecuadorian President José María Velasco Ibarra re-opened it. In 1964, the university moved from its old campus near "La Alameda" park to its current campus in El Giron, which was named after former Rector José Rubén Orellana Ricaurte. Since then, several new faculties opened and started offering degrees in electronic engineering, power electronics, petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, geology, informatics engineering, mathematics and physics. In addition to science and engineering degrees, EPN also started offering technical and technological degrees, with the School of Information and Technology being founded in 1967.〔http://esfot.epn.edu.ec/esfot30/anuncios/Malla%20Tecnolog%C3%ADa%20en%20Agua%20y%20Saneamiento%20Ambiental.pdf In 1967, the School of Information and Technology was founded〕
