Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat (ENIM)

Ecole National Supérieure des Mines de Rabat (ENIM) is an Engineering school since 1972 and a higher education institution since the 1920's. Initially, the main mission of the ENIM was to Form engineers for the mining and mineral industry. Thus between 1975 and 1983, ENIM engineers were formed in the fields of Geology, Mining and Minerals processing. In 1977, metallurgy major was created to support Morocco's efforts in the field of steel and development of Metallurgical Industry launched at that time. In 1983, ENIM saw the creation of two new departments, namely the Electromechanical Engineering, and Chemical & Energy Engineering, to meet national needs in these areas. At the same time the Metallurgy Department was transformed into Materials Science Department; while Geology and Earth Sciences department and the Department of Exploitation of Mines and Mineral Valuation were both merged into one department: Mining Department. In 1990, the Computer Science department was created . and in 1996, another reform was initiated to create new majors and form versatile and multidisciplinary engineers that can meet the new requirements of the work market. The reform 's main objective was to strengthen the teachings of Economic and Social Sciences as well as languages and communication skills, in addition to universal education of computing and information technologies to all majors. Following this reform, a dozen majors were created in six departments, covering virtually all engineering disciplines. Since 2002, and as part of the national educational reform, ENIM offers new majors to its engineering students: Computer Engineering Production Systems Electromechanical Engineering Energy Engineering Process Engineering Engineering Management Environment al Engineering Materials Science Quality Control Engineering Mining Hydro-Geotechnical Engineering
