Core offering

EMI is Morocco's pioneering public engineering school offering 5-year Ingénieur d'État degree programs across 8 specializations (Civil, Electrical, Industrial, Computer, Mechanical, Mineral, MIS Modelling & Scientific Computing, and Industrial Processes Engineering) plus integrated military training. The institution also delivers accredited continuing education (QHSE, Building Energy, Financial Engineering), doctoral programs through the Centre d'Etudes Doctorales STI with 29+ accredited research structures, and technology incubation services via the Centre d'Innovation Technologique (CIT). Since 1964, EMI has produced over 7,400 engineering graduates and currently hosts 500+ PhD candidates.

Product overview

The Mohammadia School of Engineers (EMI) is a public engineering school affiliated with Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. EMI operates as a single unified institution offering a comprehensive portfolio of educational and research services organized into four main categories: initial engineering training (Ingénieur d'État programs across 8 specializations with integrated military training), continuing education (accredited professional programs and master's degrees), doctoral studies (CEDoc STI with 30+ research structures), and research/incubation services (CIT technology incubator, excellence centers including W3C Morocco, space research, and mechanical fabrication). The institution also provides campus services (housing, dining, 15+ student clubs) to support the holistic development of approximately 500+ doctoral students and engineering students. EMI is not a technology product company but rather an educational institution offering degree programs and research services.

Products and services

• Ingénieur d'État Degree Programs Five-year post-baccalaureate engineering degree programs delivered across 8 specializations: Génie Civil, Génie Electrique, Génie Industriel, Génie Informatique, Ingénierie Mécanique, Génie Minérale, Génie Modélisation et Informatique Scientifique (MIS), and Génie des Procédés Industriels. Programs include a common core in sciences and engineering techniques plus specialized tracks. Designed for students with mathematics backgrounds (from preparatory classes, DEUG/License holders, and Master degree holders for second-year entry).
• Military Training (Formation Militaire) Para-military instruction provided to engineering students leading to reserve officer status. Includes theoretical, technical, and practical military education along with physical training and sports. Operated by a permanent detachment of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) since 1982.
• Continuing Education Programs (Formation Continue) Professional development programs for working professionals, including accredited courses and long-cycle master's programs (6 months to 2 years). Delivered in standard, à la carte, or on-demand formats. Programs can be conducted on-site at EMI or at client facilities, in durations ranging from 1 day to 2 years. Also offers mastères (professional master's) on weekends.
• QHSE Certification Program Quality, Hygiene, Safety, and Environment Management certification program offered as accredited continuing education for working professionals.
• Building Energy Program (EEB) Building energy certification program focused on energy efficiency in construction, offered as an accredited continuing education course.
• Financial Engineering Program Financial engineering certification program offered through accredited continuing education.
• Doctoral Program (Cycle Doctoral) Three-year doctoral program in Sciences and Techniques for Engineering, administered through the Centre d'Etudes Doctorales (CEDoc STI), with approximately 29 accredited research structures including laboratories and teams. EMI had earlier established the Applied Sciences Doctorate (Doctorat ès Sciences Appliquées) in 1986 — the first of its kind in Moroccan engineering schools.
• Centre d'Innovation Technologique (CIT) — Technology Incubator Technology innovation center serving as a business incubator for projects from innovative entrepreneurs, providing scientific, technical, financial and legal guidance. Comprises three cells: incubation, technology transfer, and consulting/continuing education. Provides project support, entrepreneurship training, and technology transfer services leading to enterprise creation.
