École Centrale Paris

École Centrale Paris is a French university-level institution (grande école) in the field of engineering. It is also known by its original name École centrale des arts et manufactures, or ECP. Founded in 1829, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious engineering schools in France and has the special status of Grand établissement. École Centrale Paris offers graduate degree programs as well as PhD opportunities.

A. Lavallée In order to do this, École Centrale Paris was necessary to provide engineers with a solid training in both industry and the sciences: in 1829, the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures was created by four persons with a particularly open minded approach to the development of Industrial Sciences.

Alphonse LAVALLÉE, a businessman from Nantes, put his personal fortune into the creation of this Ecole, an entirely private affair, so that “the doctors of factories and mills” could be trained.

Twenty years after its creation, the young engineering graduates of École Centrale Paris occupied leading positions in industry, where they attracted attention by their sense of innovation, their team spirit, and their competence as managers. Every major industrial sector was launched and developed under the impulse of Centraliens.
