University of Atacama

University of Atacama ( _es. Universidad de Atacama) or UDA is a university in Chile. It is part of the Chilean Traditional Universities. The university is located in Copiapó, in the Third Region, Atacama.

The University was created in 1981, as a fusion of the old Mining School of Copiapó, founded in 1857, and the Normal School of Copiapó, founded in 1905. UDA has four Faculties: Humanities and Education, Law, Engineering, and Natural Sciences, as well as five institutes: the Technological Institute, the Language Institute, the Center for Technical Education (CFT), the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research (IDITEC), and INSAMIN.

The University of Atacama houses several historical monuments on campus, including the first steam engine to traverse Chile, between Copiapó and the port city of Caldera, in 1851.
