NEWS - Researchers from the UPV and UV creates a sensor for detecting misfires

A group of researchers from the Department of Molecular Recognition and Technological Development (DDM) has developed an electronic device that changes color when it detects the presence of carbon monoxide, which can improve safety in industries and households braziers are used.

This gas is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as gasoline, coal, or wood appliances such as boilers, water heaters or cooking stoves and can cause death if inhaled without the account is affected, so a device this type can have multiple applications to improve security.

The device, which has been developed by researchers at the Joint Center of the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the University of Valencia, can instantly know the exact concentration of carbon monoxide, from a violet color to a yellow-orange in the presence this gas.

An education decidedly leading towards aiding our students in finding an appropriate job in accordance with their studies.

To contribute to the economic, social and cultural development of the Spanish society in general, and to the Valencian society in particular, through scientific, technical and artistic support.

To develop an institutional model characterised by its values of excellence, internationalisation, solidarity and efficiency; an open institution which promotes the participation of institutions, companies and professionals in every aspect of university life.

Visión 

UPV is a University that attracts the best students and trains professionals with a recognised, prestigious level of excellence which is highly valued by local and international employers.

The relevance of UPV's research outputs underpins the strong international presence of the institution, which has close collaborative links with the best universities in the world.

UPV is an innovative and entrepreneurial University, with effective mechanisms for the dissemination of scientific and technological results, and which excels in the training of researchers and in the creation of technology-based companies.

UPV is an efficient public institution at the service of society, with a strong social and environmental commitment.

History

An innovative institution 

The UPV is a public, dynamic and innovative institution that is dedicated to researching and teaching. The UPV maintains strong bonds with its social environment and a strong presence abroad.

Our vocation as a service results from our commitment to society. We provide our students with the knowledge they need to be able to work as graduates in their professional field, and we offer them an all-round education where they acquire technological skills, as well as a humanistic and cultural education.

We train people, we train professionals 

We train people and we train professionals because we believe it is our duty to give our students not only knowledge but also experience. By so doing we believe that we are helping them to become free, responsible people who are aware of social problems, are capable of taking on commitments and have prospects for the future.

The teaching and administrative staff engaged by the UPV work to offer our students the high quality education they need.

Our background 

Our university is a young institution. Its history dates back to the early 70s although some of its schools, such as the School of Design Engineering, the Higher Polytechnic School of Alcoy and the Faculty of Fine Arts, are over a hundred years old.

The seed of what is today known as the Universitat Politècnica de València was planted in the academic year 1968-1969, when the Higher Polytechnic Institute of Valencia was created. At that time it comprised four schools: the School of Agricultural Engineering, founded in 1959; the School of Architecture, inaugurated in 1966; the School of Civil Engineering and the School of Industrial Engineering, both of them created in 1968.

An institution in continuous development 

But it is not until 1971 (as a result of the Order of 11th March, through which the Higher Polytechnic Institute of Valencia is conferred the highest academic status), when our institution becomes the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Likewise, in 1978, the Faculty of Fine Arts is annexed to our University.

From then on all the other schools are incorporated; i.e. the School of Design Engineering, the Polytechnic School of Alcoy, the School of Building Management, the School of Rural Environments and Enology and the School of Applied Computer Science, whose studies started in 1985.
