History

The school began classes on 27 September 1993 with 5 classrooms provided by the Superior School of Engineering and Architecture (ESIA) Zacatenco, on the third floor, building 10. Two of them worked as classrooms, one as a library, one as administrative area, and the other as school management. Similarly, the Superior School of Engineering and Architecture provided two spaces in the administrative area attached to the building 10, which were used as computer rooms.[1]

From June 30, 2013, to July 4, 2013, the ESCOM participated for first time in the ACM ICPC World Finals. The team consisted of Christian Hernandez, Ethan Jimenez, and Jair Ramirez.[5]
