For those of you who yearned for it, for those who prayed it would never come and especially for those who didn't really care, here's the long-awaited English-dubbed version of "Hazte Industrial", from here forth, Go Engineer.
After the inexplicable success of our silly little video among Spanish speakers, we've done our best to translate it keeping grasp of the tone and the philosophy behind the --ahem--original song, portraying the sometimes hard but always hopeful path that must be trodden by the future engineers of our time. Still, the video's purpose is the same as it was: just for kicks. Hope you enjoy it!
Original Spanish version here:

NOTE: An important detail to bear in mind when watching is the crazy fail rate in most Spanish institutes of technology (well over 50% in many subjects), in comparison to other educational systems (lucky bastards) where failing is rare and usually means you've been lazying around all year. Here, the exams are just freaking impossible! Then again, you may choose to believe we're just stupid, which judging by the video seems like a plausible hypothesis. In any case, be warned.
Who Are These Guys Anyway? -- The ETSII (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales) is one of the Schools of Engineering in the Univiersidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain, Europe). The degree "Ingeniero Industrial" in Spain -- unlike what is usually understood elsewhere by industrial engineering -- is a 5-year-long engineering degree (equivalent to bachelor's + master's) covering a wide range of technical fields including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and computer-science, power technologies, construction, manufacturing and industrial management. Students choose a particular specialisation for the second half of the degree, but the essentials for all the fields are common. There you go, now watch the video.

Para los que la esperabais con ansia, para los que rezabais para que no llegara y sobre todo para los que os daba igual, aquí está la tan esperada versión doblada al inglés de Hazte Industrial, en adelante, "Go Engineer".
Tras el inexplicable éxito de nuestro pequeño vidrioclip entre el público hispanohablante, hemos hecho lo posible por traducirlo sin perder el tono y la filosofía que albergaba la canción --ejem-- original, retratando la a veces dura pero siempre optimista senda que deben recorrer los futuros ingenieros de nuestro tiempo. Con todo, el objetivo del vídeo sigue siendo el que era: echarse unas risas. ¡Esperamos que os guste!

GO ENGINEER!
The average is always higher
On everyone else's course.
Your dream is to join the Art lot,
To party until you're hoarse.
Just look at the School around you.
Right here's where your life goes on.
You've been here for quite some time now
And Calculus still ain't gone.
Go engineer!
Go engineer!
It ain't too bad if you make it through in, say, fifteen years?
Oh well, I'm sure you work all day,
But you're not passing anyway.
Never surrender, maybe in September.
Go engineer!
Been cramming for seven weeks now,
I'm nailing it, then I'm through.
'Cause last year I got unlucky,
The questions were tricky too.
Exam time is almost over,
The teacher walks by right then.
He skims yours over your shoulder.
"Guess who's gonna fail again."
Go engineer!
Go engineer!
Your grade is strictly bounded above by thirty percent.
Oh, and, should you wish to object,
There's room to make it lower yet.
Failure-inducing's so self-amusing!
Go engineer!
(Go engineer)
Go engineer!
(Go engineer)
If you're not nuts, well, just keep it up, 'cause you're getting near.
(You're getting near, la la la)
Matrices zooming all around,
Exergy shooting up unbound,
Until your ellipsoid of inertia moves to the sound.
Let alpha be a ferrite conductor,
Set to a spin of Euler-Poinsot,
Immersed in a helical magnetic field
Where all tensors are unknown.
(What?!)
Next, varying Helmholtz's energy function
Of an internal liquefied flow
And given the differential equiv,
Answer the points below.
[Instrumental]
Yeeeeeaaaaah!
Go engineer!
Go engineer!
Once you're all done here you'll be a genius, worshipped and feared.
World's there for you to take control,
No need to leave the couch at all.
No one can stop you from your intentions.
Go engineer!
All can be done that admits integration.
Go engineer!
If you can make it through these conditions
You'll have the world at your disposition.
Make it your war cry. Make it your mission.
Go engineer!!
