UTEC is a proposal of public education, with a technological profile, committed to the expansion of the higher education supply to the interior of Uruguay (the main idea was to settle or locate the University in the interior of the country); fostering the link with the productive environment and the promotion of the country's social and cultural development. This university has a wide and diverse list of available careers that include pregrade, grade and postgrade, while complementing them with many programs and courses to complete the student curricula.

The Regional Technological Institutes (ITRs, by its acronym in Spanish) are the manifestation of UTEC in the territory (the campus).They are located on different ~~cities~~ regions in the country, based on the ~~regional~~ local needs for higher education in each ~~city~~place. They are the centers that manage the activities in the region; in order to create a dialogue with the environment, through a strong decentralized profesional path. 

When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the country from the capital. At the time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and study there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. Its first institution was built in the southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Since then on, all ITRs built have been following the same path and have been designed to fit the communities they were built around.

~~After "~~In UTEC centers don't focus on just one area with a fixed list of careers, since its purpose is to provide more access to education, in each building you can have very different careers from different departments. There are many centers throughout the country that belong to UTEC, where the faculty's offices and the classrooms are located. Each center belongs to a subgroup in the university according to its location, this groups are the ITRs. There are currently three well established (although still growing) ITRs, and a fourth one that is still being implemented (athough already working). The ITRs and their assigned centers are the following: * ITR Southwest # Fray Bentos", "Río Negro # Mercedes, Mercedes # La Paz, Colonia # Nueva Helvecia, Colonia # Paysandú, Paysandú * ITR Center-South # Durazno, Durazno" # San José, San José # Maldonado, Maldonado (Currently) * ITRCenter- ~~Centro Sur~~South # Durazno, Durazno # San José, San José # Maldonado, Maldonado (Currently) ~~was created in 2017; and then~~ * ITR North # Rivera, Rivera~~'s institution~~ # Melo, Cerro Largo * ITR East (~~ITR - Norte~~Still being implemented) ~~was inaugurated. Nowadays~~ # Minas, Lavalleja # Maldonado, Maldonado (In the ~~creation~~ future) The three main and bigger centers (in terms of size, careers offered and students attending) are the ~~new "Minas" center (ITR - East) is planned; UTEC is at continuing growth since its beginning~~ones located in Durazno, Fray Bentos and Rivera.
