Icam Strasbourg-Europe

Icam Strasbourg-Europe, also known as Icam, Strasbourg-Europe Campus, formerly ECAM Strasbourg-Europe, is one of the 205 engineering schools in France accredited as of 1 September 2019 to award engineering degrees.[1]

The École catholique des arts et métiers Strasbourg-Europe was founded in Schiltigheim in 2009 with support from the schools within the ECAM group. In June 2022, the school joined the network of the Institut catholique d'arts et métiers (Icam). The school is located at the Espace européen de l'entreprise in Schiltigheim.[2]

History

ECAM Strasbourg-Europe was established in 2009 at the initiative of local authorities and businesses from the Alsace region, with the support of the ECAM group. It became the fourth school in the group at that time.[3][4]

In June 2022, the Icam announced in a press release that the ECAM Strasbourg-Europe engineering school and the Icam group were merging.[5] ECAM Strasbourg-Europe was subsequently renamed Icam, Strasbourg-Europe campus and became the seventh Icam campus in France.[6]

Academic programs

This school was accredited on 6 July 2010[7] by the Commission des titres d'ingénieurs (CTI) to confer the degree of "Engineer graduated from ECAM Strasbourg-Europe," with accreditation renewed in September 2016.[8] The first ECAM Strasbourg-Europe engineers graduated on November 15, 2014, in a ceremony attended by the class patron Jean-Louis Debré.[9]

Icam, Strasbourg-Europe campus is affiliated with the preparatory classes of Collège Saint-Étienne and Lycée Jean XXIII in Montigny-lès-Metz.[10] The school trains cohorts of 120 engineers (data from 2018-2019). In 2022, the school hosted 550 students.[11]

The building has a wooden frame.[12] It was designed by architect Pierre Valantin from the ARXarchitecture firm.[13][14]
