In 1941, Padre Roberto Saboia de Medeiros founded ESAN, “Escola Superior de Administração de Negócios”, Brazil's first Business college, in São Paulo. An enterprising and visionary idealist, Padre Saboia anticipated the need for skilled labor in Technology and Management in a Brazil heading towards industrialization after the World War.
Working tirelessly in the pursuit of his goals, in 1946 Padre Saboia founded the Faculdade de Engenharia Industrial, FEI, giving Brazil a study center that was able to serve the first plants established in the country.

Following up the changes brought about by the new technologies, in 1999 FCI, the Faculdade de Ciências Integradas, was founded, offering a program in Computer Science.
Starting in 2002, all the schools together became Centro Universitário FEI, today an integrated and interdisciplinary institute, the joined competencies of ESAN, FEI and FCI. 
Nowadays, FEI maintains 2 campuses: one in São Bernardo do Campo, located halfway between the two main highways connecting the city of São Paulo to the coast, occupies an area of 243.000 square meters. The strategic location facilitates the agreement with a number of companies and plants, as the region plays a key role in Brazil's economy and is becoming one of the country's main technology hubs. The second campus, in Liberdade, a district of the city of São Paulo, has an area of 8.600 square meters and a bold, modern architecture. This campus offers Undergraduate, Master's Degree and PhD courses in Business Administration, as well as numerous non-degree Graduate programs in Technology and Management.
