By Karan Singh
Founded in 1747, École des Ponts ParisTech (officially École nationale des ponts et chaussées literally "National school of Bridges and Roads"), is the world's oldest civil engineering school. It remains to this day one of the most prestigious and selective French Engineering institutes.
It is headquartered in Marne-la-Vallée (suburb of Paris) and a member of ParisTech (Paris Institute of Technology). With traditional core competences in civil engineering, environment, transport, town and regional planning, mechanics, industrial management and logistics, École des Ponts ParisTech offers high-level programmes in an extensive range of fields, from applied mathematics to economics and management. École des Ponts ParisTech is among the schools called "généralistes", which means that students receive a broad, management-oriented and non-specialised education, and often quickly become top industrial managers.
École des Ponts ParisTech offers three major types of courses: Engineering programmes: leading to a 5-year postgraduate engineering degree (accessible, after competitive examinations, by both undergraduate-graduate curriculum and the 2-year master course) or to masters of science, Doctoral programmes: Ph.D.s, and Professional programmes for postgraduates: Mastères spécialisés (M.S.), and also MBA Programs at the ENPC School of International Management. Education for the Master of Engineering is organised in the six following departments- Civil Engineering and Construction, Transport, Planning, Environment, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Applied Mathematics and Computer Sciences, Economics, Management, Finance, and Industrial Engineering and Management.
École des Ponts ParisTech runs research in the following disciplines- atmospheric environment, water, urban planning and environment, mathematics and scientific computing, information technologies, international environment and development, regional planning and social sciences, and urban planning and transport. École des Ponts ParisTech was also the lead developer of Scilab along with INRIA. Scilab is now developed by the Scilab Consortium. École des Ponts ParisTech is also an application school of École Polytechnique, and provides education for the Corps of Bridges and Roads.
