HEI is a French engineering school founded in 1885, based in Lille in the Hauts-de-France region. It operates as a generalist higher-education institution, authorized by the state and CTI to award diplomas through initial full-time study and apprenticeship, as well as through continuing education. The campus comprises multiple sites, including the historic 13 rue de Toul building for engineering cycles and laboratories, and a separate Irène-Devos building for preparatory classes; a renovated 5000 square meter facility supports practical work and modern ICT-equipped spaces, while additional laboratories are located on nearby streets to centralize research under one roof. HEI serves roughly two thousand engineering students and hosts student residences and community facilities, situating itself within the broader academic ecosystem of the Université catholique de Lille. In recent developments, HEI has announced advancements in safety leadership through dual CSP certifications for its Joosten and Hemric program, reflecting ongoing engagement with industry standards and professional excellence.
