The '''École nationale supérieure d'électronique, d'électrotechnique, d'informatique, d'hydraulique et des télécommunications''' ('''ENSEEIHT''') is a French engineering school ([[Grande École]]) in [[Electrical Engineering]], [[Electronics]], [[Computer Science]], [[Hydraulics]] and [[Telecommunications]].

The INP-ENSEEIHT is a public engineering school,under the trust of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research and in an agreement with the prestigious Ecole polytechnique.<ref>http://www.enseeiht.fr/fr/index.html</ref> INP-ENSEEIHT is one of the seven components of the Institut national polytechnique de Toulouse.

The standard curriculum is a three-year program resulting in the French ''[[Diplôme d'Ingénieur]]'', considered by European universities ([[Bologna declaration]]) as a [[Master's degree]] of the [[European Higher Education Area]]. 
The ENSEEIHT is part of [[Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse]] (INP Toulouse) which is itself part of the [[University of Toulouse]]. The school is also an associated school of the [[Institut Télécom]].

==History==

The school was founded in 1907 by the [[Toulouse]] city council with the purpose of training engineers for the South-Western [[France]] electrical and hydraulic networks development.

In the '30s, [[Charles Camichel]], the first director of the school, develops research on hydraulics. Hydraulics then contributed to the reputation of the school.

In 1948, the school has become an ''ENSI'' - French abbreviation for National Superior School of Engineering - under the direction of [[Léopold Escande]]. This was an acknowledgement of the high level of the training and the research works.

==Admissions==
As a ''[[Grande École]]'', the school recruits the majority of the students after the selection made by the competitive examination which is the final step of two years of intensive ''[[Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles]]''. Each department has its own required admission rank that is determined by the number of candidates that want to integrated the department. Other ways to integrate the school exist, some students are admitted to the school after the [[University]] or after two years of specific integrated preparatory classes at the [[Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse]].

===Programs===
The standard curriculum is the French specific three-year program in engineering that leads to the ''[[Diplôme d'Ingénieur]]'' degree. This degree is officially considered as a [[Master's Degree]] of the [[European Higher Education Area]] by the European Bologna declaration.

The five departments of the school are :
* Electrical Engineering and [[Automation]]
* [[Electronics]] and [[Signal Processing]]
* Computer Science and [[Applied Mathematics]]
* Hydraulics and [[Fluid Mechanics]]
* [[Telecommunications]] and [[Telecommunications network|Networks]]

The school also delivers ''[[Mastère Spécialisé|Mastères Spécialisés]]'' ([[Mastère Spécialisé|Specialized Masters]]), that are one or two years specialized programs in research that can be made after a [[Master's Degree]].

===Double Degree===
The school proposes several opportunities to achieve a [[Double Degree]] with the [[Georgia Institute of Technology]] (''Georgia Tech'') in [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta, GA]] (USA) for instance, or with [[Imperial College]] in [[London, United Kingdom]].

===Partnerships===
The school has established for many years a lots of partnerships with other French and international [[university|universities]] and [[Institute of Technology|institutes of technology]].

The ENSEEIHT is also an application school for the very prestigious [[École polytechnique]].
