EIGSI - École d'ingénieurs généralistes

EIGSI La Rochelle is heir to one of the four private Parisian Engineering Grandes Ecoles from the start of the 20th century: the Ecole d’Electricité et de Mécanique Industrielle (EEMI – école Violet) created in Paris in 1901. Commission-Titres-IngenieurEIGSI is certified to award the title of graduate Engineer by the CTI for the maximum period of six years. In 2012, EIGSI formed a partnership with CFA-EIA and opened an apprenticeship engineering training section certified by the CTI in May 2012. The school has also obtained the EUR-ACE label. The school’s missions cover three dimensions: training, research and innovation, which may be represented as a triangle, or as two foundations, with research and innovation contributing to reinforcing the excellence of engineer training. Research and innovation have several beneficial effects: they guarantee the standard of knowledge transmitted to students by the research professors who find themselves up against the very best international standards in their discipline. Also, they offer students excellent training grounds.
