Assuming that you want the full MDE functionality (P2, not P1), you will need an E5 license or a standalone MDE license for every user(faculty) that will use the computers.
So in other words, you will need to get licenses for those 400 (410?) users.
As for the students, you don't need any special kind of license for shared devices.
If all students have an E5 license assigned, they can use any shared device they want, as long as they don't login to more than 5 devices simultaneously.
Client devices that are onboarded to MDE are not linked to a specific user, unlike Intune where any one device can be linked to a single user only.
