History of ENSEEIHT

In 1907, the city of Toulouse generously assisted its seven century old university in the creation of an institute dedicated to teaching and research, the Institute of Electrotechnology and Applied Mathematics of the University of Toulouse.
Its principle goals were to train the engineers and managers necessary for the hydraulic and electric renovation of the southwest region and to contribute to the technological development of these scientific disciplines.
The increasing number of students and technical progress led to the creation of the Electrical Engineering and Hydraulics Departments in 1955 followed, in 1956, by the Electronics Department and in 1959, for the first time in a French engineering school, a Department of Applied Mathematics. In 1967, it became the Department of Computer Science.
Today presided over by Professor Alain Ayache, the school is structured into 5 departments : Electrical Engineering & Automation, Electronics & Signal Processing, Computer Science & Applied Mathematics, Hydraulics & Fluid Mechanics, Telecommunications & Networks and 5 research labs which are closely linked.
Complementing this core are 7 specialized training programs (Mastères Spécialisés de la Conférence des Grandes Ecoles), a Continuing Education annex, and 12 doctoral disciplines.
