In the beginning, the faculty was called " Escuela Superior de Industrias de Tarrassa " (Industrial College Terrassa) where the following areas were taught: Engineering, Applied Engineering Sciences and basic training for workers.

First, the faculty was settled in the Topete road 4 but in 1904 she moved to the Colom street 1 to where it is located today. The Faculty building dates from the era of " Modernisme Catala ". An exhibition presented in this year highlight the applied arts dar. In 1943, the building was owned by the government and kept their teaching function.
The teaching in the field of textile engineering offered since 1906 has always been characteristic of the " Faculty of Engineering Terrassa " and has been extended over time to additional diplomas. Other fields of engineering have also been taught: chemical, mechanical, electrical engineering and electronics.
In 1962, the engineering was separated from the area of higher secondary school education and the teaching career began at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales (Technical School of Industrial Engineering) in Colom street 1 Seit1972 part of the Faculty of Universitat Politècnica de Barcelona, which later on Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya ( UPC) was.
