The School of Engineering of the University of São Paulo (Portuguese:Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo) (usually called POLI, POLI-USP or EPUSP) is an engineering school in the University of São Paulo (abbreviated USP) in São Paulo, Brazil. It was founded in 1893 - before the creation of USP itself - and was the first engineering school in the state of São Paulo. Its original name was The Polytechnic School of São Paulo. It was incorporated to the USP in 1934. Its students are known as "politécnicos". Since many graduates from this institution have, throughout Brazilian history, occupied positions with public exposure and/or business and industry leadership, including ten mayors of São Paulo and six state governors, it has a reputation of 'training leaders'. The Polytechnic School belongs to University of São Paulo, widely regarded one of the best higher education institutions in Latin America, but has acquired a reputation in its own right, having its Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering courses ranked as the best in the country in 2014.〔http://ruf.folha.uol.com.br/2014/〕 Internationally, along with the other engineering departments of USP, Poli-USP was ranked among the top 100 Engineering schools worldwide by Academic Ranking of World Universities. Its computer science, chemical, civil, electrical/electronic and mechanical engineering departments were also ranked in the top 100 worldwide in the QS World University Rankings. The school offers numerous double-degree and open exchange programs for its students, celebrating in 2015 its 1,000th double diploma between USP and its partner universities. ==Admissions== Admission for undergraduates takes place annually, along with all other courses in the USP, through an exam called "vestibular" held by an institution named FUVEST (University Foundation for the Vestibular). The Polytechnic School selects only 870 students out of 13,500 candidates,〔(Manual da Fuvest )〕 making it the largest engineering admittance exam in Brazil and also one of the most competitive. Students who have begun their engineering degree elsewhere in Brazil can also transfer to the Polytechnic school, if they pass a specific examination. The school also admits international undergraduate students from partner universities through a separate admission process. These students can apply either for open exchanges or a double degree, in which case they receive a degree from University of São Paulo as well. A separate process exists for master and doctoral courses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
