The Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore was established in 1994, in the village of [[Ettimadai]] at the foothills of Bouluvanpatty ranges, about 20&nbsp;km away from the [[Coimbatore]] city. It was the first higher educational institution to be set up by the [[Mata Amritanandamayi Math]], which at then had only 120 students and 13 faculty members. As Amrita's first campus, it is still home to the administrative headquarters of [[Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham|Amrita University]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Engineering {{!}} Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham|url=https://www.amrita.edu/school/engineering|access-date=2021-04-08|website=www.amrita.edu}}</ref>
