Transport, Planning, Environment Department (VET)  

The VET department is open to students who wish to contribute as engineers to the sustainable development of cities and regions.

These students are planning careers in the following vocational fields:

  • City and regional development and planning,
  • Service networks, in particular the design and operation of transport and sanitation networks, fields in which the École des Ponts excels,
  • Environment and logistics within large industrial conglomerates.

The map of careers and differing fields of expertise is thus being redrawn, offering manifold opportunities and scope to engineers open to regional, environmental, and urban issues. The management of projects in these domains requires the technical, management, and relational skills that the VET deparement is pledged to develop in its curriculum. This curriculum includes required courses and options offered by the department itself, elective courses offered by other École des Ponts departments, seminars, projects, internships, and the final project.

Students can choose one of the three options:

  • Environment
  • Planning (City and Regional)
  • Transport
