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: I mentioned it to them and they just said not to do that.
gollark: You could also download something like my multicast-based chat program and cheat that way.
gollark: However, as it turns out, they "block internet access" just by denying access to browsers, and you can still use anything else they have for that (which isn't much). Including, say, using Python's urllib to access web things™. Which is quite impractical, but in theory, if I felt cheaty, I could use that to download a less impractical program to browse things.
gollark: Now, they aren't entirely stupid so you get a separate temporary account without your usual files and whatever to work on for the duration.
gollark: Part of them is done on actual computers, as they are slightly modern.
