It was founded in 1904 and was known until the 1960s as the Breguet school. It is operated by the Paris Chamber of Commerce. In 1992, another branch, operated by the Amiens Chamber of Commerce was opened. Some of the students come directly from High School and graduate after 5 years while others, who follow the traditional path to the Grandes écoles, come from a preparatory classes and graduate in 3 years.

ESIEE launched Master of Science programs in nano-science MEMS, Electronic Engineering and System on Chip, programs to which international students and 4rth and 5th year ESIEE students may participate. [2] [3]
The Paris school shares its building with two other schools;
In addition of the European Erasmus Programme, two main exchange programs are offered to the students:
The Tripartite Programme, offered to outstanding candidates, operates with the University of Karlsruhe, the University of Southampton, and the ICAI in the Pontifical Comillas University of Madrid. Under this program, students spend their last two years in two universities of their choice.
The Entree Programme [4], allows students to transfer to 17 other European universities. Under this program, students spend the first semesters of the last 2 years in two universities of their choices.
ESIEE Amiens and Paris are generally ranked on the top 5 French engineering schools (with admittance directly after high school/secondary school).
