École des Ponts Paris Tech

École des Ponts ParisTech - created in 1747 under the name École Royale des Ponts et Chaussées -is one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in Europe. The establishment trains engineers to a high level of scientific, technical and general competency with a persistent and strong desire to innovate in the future of building and design.

Research labs

The Navier Laboratory is a mixed research unit of École des Ponts ParisTech, IFSTTAR and the CNRS who brings together more than 170 people. Within the lab, the team “Architectured Materials and Structures” tackles research in structural engineering and materials mechanics with a special focus on lightweight structures and complex geometries and it strongly supports the Design by Data program.

Part-Time Executive

Design by Data is a part-time program aiming to blend education and professional experience. You will be in class one week per month, while the rest of the time you will be working in a company of our professional network, including architecture and engineering firms, construction companies, innovation hubs and fab labs.
