It is located in Casablanca few miles from the Casablanca Technopark.

It was established in 1971 by the Public Ministry of Public Works to provide the Moroccan Kingdom with engineers of high potential in the sectors of civil engineering, electrical engineering and regional planning.

In 1993, the status of EHTP was set up as publicly owned engineering establishment under the supervision of the Moroccan Ministry Of Equipment and Transport.

The school offers an initial training of Specialized master's degree in "Gestion et exploitation des systèmes de transport" (Management and Exploitation of Transportation Systems).

Specialized master's degree MAGEST : « Master Gestion et exploitation des systèmes de transport » (Master in Management and Exploitation of Transportation Systems) was created in 2004 under the TEMPUS - MEDA programme. The master's degree was developed in partnership with 3 other schools : the École des Ponts ParisTech, the École nationale des travaux publics de l'État in France and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain. It's an initiation training of 3 semesters (1 year and a half) after 4 years of obtaining the Baccalauréat, with a goal of providing necessary tools and training in the management of the transportation system in Morocco, a sector that shows dynamic development in the country.
