The École nationale supérieure de l'énergie, l'eau et l'environnement (Ense³) (National Superior School of Energy, Water, and the Environment) is one of the engineering schools of the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. As a grande école, students are admitted through a nationwide competitive examination. It was formed by the merger of the École nationale supérieure d'hydraulique et de mécanique de Grenoble (ENSHM) (National Superior School of Hydraulics and Mechanics of Grenoble) and the École nationale supérieure d'ingénieurs électriciens de Grenoble (ENSIEG) (National Superior School of Electrical Engineers of Grenoble).

History

ENSIEG was created in 1908 to provide training for industrial electricians. ENSHM was later founded in 1929 to satisfy the demands of the local industries in Grenoble for graduating engineers in fluid mechanics and hydroelectricity. The two schools merged to establish Ense³ in 2008. Their merger occurred during the overhaul of the Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP, Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble, Groupe Grenoble INP and before that INPG).
