An engineering studies program is a great way to discover more about the field and discipline of engineering. Students might learn about a specific subfield or cover engineering in general, and may also be able to study real-world engineering problems and their solutions.

Chile has the oldest education system in the South America. The government has always partially financed this education system making it one of the cheapest student’s lives. The leading universities are Universidad de Chile and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.
