The National Engineering School of Tunis, known by its French initials ENIT, is a public engineering school in Tunisia that belongs to Tunis El Manar University and stands on the El Manar campus in Tunis. It is described as the oldest engineering school in the country after the National Agronomic Institute of Tunisia, which dates from 1898, and it was founded by Mokhtar Latiri on 31 December 1968. The school is organised into six independent departments: industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, information and communication technology, and applied mathematics. Each department offers its own masters and doctoral programmes and has its own research laboratories. Among its graduates is Sara Zaafarani, who took a civil engineering degree there and later became prime minister of Tunisia.
