[1] It was the first "grande école" of engineers at the present day Grenoble Institute of Technology.
The school's three main axes of education revolved around Electrotechnics/Power Electronics, Automatic control/Control theory, and Signal Processing.
Around 160 electrical engineers graduated each year from ENSIEG serving a wide spectrum of industries.
In 2008, ENSIEG merged with the École nationale supérieure d'hydraulique et de mécanique de Grenoble—ENSHM (National Higher School of Hydraulics and Mechanics of Grenoble).
ENSHM later became the École nationale supérieure de l'énergie, l'eau et l'environnement—ENSE³ (Superior National School of Energy, Water and Environment).
