The Linares Advanced Technical College (in Spanish: Escuela Politécnica Superior de Linares) is an engineering school belonging to the University of Jaén since July 1, 1993. It is located in the city of Linares, Spain. This school was born as a result of the merger of the University Schools of Industrial Engineering and Mining Engineering, existing in Linares until 1976. Both schools were dedicated to the training of professionals both in the fields of Mining Engineering (since 1892) and Industrial Engineering (1910).
The current facilities at the Technical College, which currently consists of two buildings dating back to 1949 and situated in Alfonso X "The Wise" street, are popularly known as "The School of Experts". After years of demands on behalf of a range of Linares citizens and the university community, firm steps towards building a new University Campus in Linares seem to be being taken, where the Technical College of the city would be located.
