history

The Instituto Militar de Engenharia (Military Institute of Engineering - IME) is an engineering university maintained by the Brazilian Army with Federal support. IME is one of the best engineering schools in Brazil, according to the Ministry of Education of that country. The same ministry develops a periodical evaluation (both through tests applied on undergraduate students and infrastructure and faculty evaluation), and IME is usually ranked among the top three schools of the country in each of its Engineering specialties. The school's admission exam for its undergraduate program is famous for being considered one of the most difficult ones, and is usually composed of Math, Physics, Chemistry, Portuguese and English tests.

The school is known for having produced some of the country's most notable researchers and public figures.

Known as one of the oldest engineering schools ever, IME is the third oldest engineering school in the world and the oldest in the Americas.
