The West Technical College (Romanian: Colegiul Tehnic de Vest) is a high school in Timișoara. It was founded in 1946 as a school for civil, industrial and agricultural constructions. It suffered numerous name changes since, but kept its profile as an industrial and construction-oriented institution.
