Electronics, computer science, telecommunications, mathematics and mechanics meet in ENSEIRB-MATMECA, an engineering school that forms part of Bordeaux INP. The full name is École Nationale Supérieure d’Électronique, Informatique, Télécommunications, Mathématique et Mécanique de Bordeaux, and the school’s address is in Talence, in the Bordeaux area.
The school has trained engineers for more than a century, since its creation in 1920, when it began as a telegraphy school in Bordeaux. Bordeaux INP, the institute it belongs to, groups six engineering schools, among them ENSC, ENSEGID, ENSMAC and ENSTBB, and gives its own address in Talence as well.
Teaching centres on four fields: electronics, computer science, telecommunications, and mathematics together with mechanics. These are the same fields that appear in the school’s full name, so the title serves as a short description of the curriculum.
