The School of Engineering and Management Vaud (abbrev. HEIG-VD, in the official French form Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie et de Gestion du Canton de Vaud) is a public university in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. It was created by the merger of the EIVD (School of Engineering of the State of Vaud) and the HEG-VD (School of Business of the State of Vaud) on August 1, 2004. With its 2000 students, the HEIG-VD is the largest branch of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO). It participates actively in regional, national, and international research and industry development in all areas covered by its teaching.

As of fall 2006, HEIG-VD is based at a larger urban campus of three adjacent sites at Yverdon-les-Bains: Route de Cheseaux, Centre St-Roch, and Centre Y-Parc.
