The First University of Civil Engineering (ENPC)

 


Ecole national des Pont's ET chausses (ENPC)

Ecole des Pont's Paris Tech (originally called Ecole national des Pont's ET chausses or ENPC, also nicknamed Pont's) is a university level institution of higher education and research in the field of science, engineering and technology. Founded in 1747 by Daniel-Charles Trudaine, it is one of the oldest and one of the most prestigious French Grandes Ecoles. Historically, its primary mission has been to train engineering officials and civil engineers but the school now offers a wide ranging education including computer science, applied mathematics, civil engineering, mechanics, finance, economics, innovation, urban studies, environment and transport engineering. Ecole des Pont's is today largely international: 43% of its students obtain a double degree abroad, and 30% of an ingenieur cohort is foreign.

It is headquartered in Marne-la-Vallee (suburb of Paris), France, and is a founding member of Paris Tech (Paris Institute of Technology) and of the Paris School of Economics. The school is under the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy of France.
