ECE School of Engineering

The school was founded in 1919 in Paris, under the name ofEcole Centrale de TSF (Wireless Telegraphy), in the aftermath of the First World War, under the impetus of a young naval officer, Eugène Poirot. The former radio operator, a visionary, took the gamble of opening a school entirely dedicated to the teaching of a technology that was in its infancy at the time, but which he believed to be essential to future means of communication. His intuition is confirmed. The ECTSF will train battalions of civilian radio operators, for the RTF and then the ORTF, and military operators, who will be sent to all continents, from Oceania to Asia, on land, at sea and in the air. In 1939, the television was already being studied and in 1959, the transistor! Since 1919, ECE has grown into a forward‑thinking school specializing in AI and digital engineering with recognized Bachelor, Grande École (PGE) and Master of Science (Msc) programs. At ECE, we are proud to welcome students from all around the globe for a semester or an entire year of exchange. These students join us through bilateral agreements previously established with our partner universities.
