History

The ESTP was founded in 1891 by Léon Eyrolles and was officially recognized by the State in 1921. It is a general engineering school recognized for leading French higher education in the fields of construction and project management. ESTP Paris is one of the most prestigious civil engineering schools in France. It has trained a total of 24,000 engineers and 7,000 construction site managers. The school has also educated since 1891 site managers in building and public works in an undergraduate program. In 1999 the school formed a partnership with Arts et Métiers ParisTech to offer a double-degree program.

Courses

The institution offers courses in building engineering, civil engineering, topography, surveying, electrical engineering granting diplomas and degrees for two- and three-year courses. The college was partly located on Boulevard Saint-Germain, in what has since become New York University's Paris campus, but entirely moved to Cachan, in the southern suburbs of Paris. The college is open to English-speakers who want to study engineering in conjunction with French.

Alumni

Notable alumni include:

gollark: They do mesh networking? Very neat.
gollark: We have a bad BT consumer router thing at home, which has a disappointing lack of graphs and indeed any status monitoring features whatsoever.
gollark: My server's status monitoring page has several hundred graphs in it, about ten of which are useful.
gollark: Hmm, graphs, those are always fun.
gollark: > <@!258639553357676545>> If you really want a good example, how about the JS you run when you access this site? How about the JS that is run when accessing other sites? A lot of them could use static or server side dynamically generated pages as opposed to JS.<@474726021652807680> A lot of time that's for development convenience as opposed to anything else. Or so it can actually respond in reasonable time to input and stuff.
