History

Argentine industrial growth after the First World War created demand for foremen, technicians and engineers, yet graduates of the few secondary industrial schools found access to the universities difficult.第一次世界大战后阿根廷工业扩张，对工长、技术员与工程师的需求上升，但少数工业中学的毕业生很难进入大学。
Between 1935 and 1945 a group of professors at the Otto Krause Technical School, led by the engineer Pascual Pezzano, proposed a higher technical institute that would let industrial technicians continue to tertiary and university studies.1935 年至 1945 年间，奥托·克劳泽技术学校的一批教授在工程师帕斯夸尔·佩萨诺带领下，提议设立一所高等技术学院，让工业技术员得以继续接受高等教育。
Their early projects failed, but the idea survived and was taken up again when Juan Perón's government expanded industrial training after 1946, building on the National Commission of Apprenticeship and Professional Orientation created in 1945.他们早期的方案未能实现，但这一构想延续下来，并在 1946 年后胡安·庇隆政府扩大工业培训时被重新采纳，其基础是 1945 年成立的全国学徒与职业指导委员会。
On 19 August 1948 Law 13229, signed by President Juan Perón, created the National Workers' University (Universidad Obrera Nacional) to train working-class students as factory engineers.1948 年 8 月 19 日，胡安·庇隆总统签署第 13229 号法律，创办国立工人大学（Universidad Obrera Nacional），培养工人阶级学生成为工厂工程师。
The new institution was conceived as a higher technical school that complemented the country's industrial secondary schools and promoted social mobility, and its first degree was the Factory Engineer qualification in several specialties.这所新机构被设想为工业中学的补充性高等技术学校，并承担促进社会流动的使命，其最初学位为多个专业的工厂工程师资格。
Regular teaching began in 1953, five years after the law was passed, and the first cohorts studied mechanical constructions, automobiles, textiles and electrical installations.常规教学于 1953 年开始，距法律通过已有五年，首批学生攻读机械制造、汽车、纺织与电气安装等方向。
By 1954 the university had nine branches, in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Santa Fe, Bahía Blanca, La Plata, Tucumán and Avellaneda, spread across the main industrial regions of the country.到 1954 年，该校已在布宜诺斯艾利斯、科尔多瓦、门多萨、罗萨里奥、圣菲、布兰卡港、拉普拉塔、图库曼与阿韦利亚内达设立九个分校，覆盖主要工业区。
The syllabus of those years privileged workshop practice and industrial specialities rather than the theoretical and humanistic formation of the traditional universities.当时的课程偏重车间实践与工业专业训练，而非传统大学的理论与人文教育。
After the coup of 1955 the university was intervened, its funding was cut under the government of Pedro Eugenio Aramburu and courses on politics and trade unionism were replaced by culture and legislation.1955 年政变后，该校被接管，佩德罗·欧亨尼奥·阿兰布鲁政府削减其经费，政治与工会课程被文化与立法课程取代。
Students and teachers resisted attempts to suppress the institution, and from 1956 it was increasingly called the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, the name the student movement had begun to use.师生抵制取缔该校的企图，自 1956 年起，人们越来越多地称之为国家科技大学，这一名称最初由学生运动使用。
On 14 October 1959 Law 14855, passed under President Arturo Frondizi, officially gave the university its present name and a new autonomy, which the institution treats as its founding act.1959 年 10 月 14 日，阿图罗·弗朗迪西总统任内通过第 14855 号法律，正式赋予该校现名与新的自治地位，校方将此视为立校之法。
Law 15948 of 1961 opened admission to graduates of any secondary school, ending the rule that only technical-school leavers could enter and widening the university's social base.1961 年第 15948 号法律向所有中学毕业生开放入学，结束了只招收技术学校毕业生的规定，扩大了学校的社会基础。
On 31 August 1962 the University Assembly approved the first statute of UTN, when the institution already counted eleven regional faculties.1962 年 8 月 31 日，大学大会通过国家科技大学首部章程，当时该校已拥有 11 个地区学院。
Law 16712 of 1965 incorporated UTN into the national universities regime, completing its recognition as a full public university rather than a technical institute.1965 年第 16712 号法律将该校纳入国立大学体制，使其最终被承认为完整的公立大学而非技术学院。
In 1964 rector Juan Sábato authorised the Santa Fe Regional Faculty to teach the first engineering year in Paraná at the Normal School José María Torres, a delegation that became the Paraná Regional Faculty in 1972.1964 年，校长胡安·萨巴托授权圣菲地区学院在巴拉那的何塞·玛丽亚·托雷斯师范学校开设工程一年级课程，该教学点于 1972 年升格为巴拉那地区学院。
New delegations followed quickly, San Justo in 1967 and San Francisco, Villa María and Entre Ríos in 1969, each attached to an existing regional faculty before gaining independence.新教学点接踵而至，1967 年设圣胡斯托，1969 年设旧金山、玛丽亚镇与恩特雷里奥斯，它们在独立前均隶属于既有地区学院。
In 1970 the Entre Ríos delegation was divided into Paraná and Concepción del Uruguay, General Pacheco was created the same year, San Rafael followed in 1971 and Rafaela, Trenque Lauquen and Venado Tuerto between 1974 and 1975.1970 年，恩特雷里奥斯教学点分为巴拉那与乌拉圭河畔康塞普西翁，同年设帕切科将军，1971 年设圣拉斐尔，1974 至 1975 年间又设拉斐拉、特伦克劳肯与贝纳多图埃托。
Intervened again between 1973 and 1976, UTN faced a plan for its dissolution after the military coup of 1976, which the university community forced the government to abandon, and 14 staff and students of the Buenos Aires Regional Faculty were among the disappeared.1973 至 1976 年间该校再度被接管，1976 年军事政变后政府计划解散学校，因大学共同体反对而作罢；布宜诺斯艾利斯地区学院的 14 名教职工与学生成为失踪者。
With the return of democracy in 1983 teaching competitions and university autonomy were restored, and the University Assembly elected Juan Carlos Recalcatti as rector in 1986, re-electing him in 1989, and Héctor Carlos Brotto followed in 1993.1983 年民主恢复后，教师竞聘与大学自治得以重建，大学大会于 1986 年选举胡安·卡洛斯·雷卡尔卡蒂为校长，1989 年连任，1993 年由埃克托尔·卡洛斯·布罗托接任。
The 1980s also brought the Rawson delegation and the Confluencia academic unit in 1985 and the La Rioja and Reconquista units in 1986, extending the federal network to Patagonia and the north-west.1980 年代又于 1985 年设罗森教学点与孔弗伦西亚学术单位，1986 年设拉里奥哈与雷孔基斯塔单位，将联邦网络延伸至巴塔哥尼亚与西北部。
In October 1999 the Buenos Aires provincial port authority ceded a building in the port of Mar del Plata, converted in three stages into a regional faculty and completed in November 2009.1999 年 10 月，布宜诺斯艾利斯省港务局将马德普拉塔港内一栋建筑移交该校，经三期改造成为地区学院，工程于 2009 年 11 月完成。
In December 2005 the academic units of La Rioja and Concordia became regional faculties, and in 2021 UTN signed an agreement with the electricity distributor Edenor for the Women with Energy programme, and Rubén Soro was rector in 2025.2005 年 12 月，拉里奥哈与康科迪亚学术单位升格为地区学院；2021 年该校与配电企业埃德诺尔签署“能源中的女性”项目协议；2025 年校长为鲁本·索罗。
