Escuela Tecnológica Instituto Técnico Central (ETITC) originates in Escuela
Central de Artes y Oficios de Bogotá, established on the model of the French
École des Arts et Métiers by Decree No. 146 issued on 19 March 1904. Destroyed
on 19-20 August 1917 by an earthquake, the school was re-founded by Decree No.
721 issued on 4 April 1919, as Instituto Técnico Central (ITC). The new
buildings were designed in the 1920-1930s by the architect Benjamín Geric, in
partnership with teachers and students of the school.
Decree No. 2,219 issued
on 18 December 1931 merged ITC with the Faculty of Engineering of Universidad
Nacional. The Lasallian Brothers, who had managed the school since its
foundation, left; the teachers and students organized ITC Engineers' Society to
maintain teaching and carry on the industrial projects they had initiated.
Between 1932 and 1951, the school successively adopted different names: Escuela
de Artes Manuales, Escuela Industrial, and, again, Instituto Técnico Superior.
Lack of funds and careless management caused the deterioration of the premises
and technical workshops. In 1951, President of the Republic Laureano Gómez
(1950-1953) called back the Lasallian Brothers to manage ITC.
ITC was placed
in 1981 under the aegis of the Ministry of National Education; it was granted
the status of public institute of superior education by Decree No. 758 issued on
26 April 1985. ETITC was eventually established by Resolution No. 7,772 issued
on 1 December 2006, which made of it the first official School of Technology in
Colombia.

"Instituto Técnico Industrial de Tocancipá" was
created on 26 February 1997 (Municipal Decree No. 001) in
Verganzo, Municipality of Tocancipá, Department of Cundinamarca.
Classes started on 18 January 1998. The institute has today for
seats, in Verganzo, La Diana, Canavita and Buenos Aires.
The flag of the institute,
as shown graphically and described on the website
of the institute, is horizontally divided red-gold-grey, with
the emblem of the institute in the middle (omitted on the drawing
but explicitly mentioned in the text). The flag was adopted on
31 October 2003 (Decree No. 005).
Red represents vital energy and torrent of youth, as well as
passion, strength, commitment and permanent sacrifice to learning
and life building.
Gold represents the human potential of the educational community,
as well as its spiritual, social, artistic, technical and
material resources. It is the symbol of power, greatness and
admiration.
Grey represents the metals used in industry, as well as the
strength, work, tenacity and constancy of all the members of the
educational community.
The emblem of the institute was modernized in 2008 by Adrián
Eduardo Munar Guarín, Head of the Artistic Education section;
the old emblem is shown but nothing is said on its history and
designer.
The middle of the emblem is made of a grey disk charged with a
white open book and a quill, a caliper rule, a square and a pair
of scales, all in grey. This is similar to the old emblem, except
that the disk was changed from blue to grey to highlight the
technical meaning of the emblem.
A second, concentric white ring is charged with the red letters
"TRABAJO" ("work", top) and
"PROGRESO" ("progress", bottom), highlighting
the commitment to sacrifice of the community.
A third, larger concentric blue ring is charged with
the name of the institute, "INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA
DEPARTAMENTAL" (white) / "TECNICO INDUSTRIAL"
(red) on top, and the name of the place, "TOCANCIPA"
(red) on bottom. In the old emblem, all the writings, including
the aforementioned motto, were in red letters over a wide white
ring. Blue symbolizes knowledge and wisdom.
The outer part of the emblem is made of a grey cogwheel. The
wheel has 16 cogs, while it had 24 of them on the old emblem.
The whole emblem is placed on a square vertically divided
red-blue (red-white on the drawing).
The size and placement of the emblem on the flag remains a matter
of speculation.
