Corps des engineers des ponts et chaussées
The term Corps des ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées in France referred to the group of higher officials who worked as bridge and road construction engineers in the civil service (or in related subjects such as canal, hydraulic or dike construction, etc.). This group was one of the numerous corps into which the French civil service is divided on the basis of their training and / or their tasks and areas of responsibility. Among the Corps techniques , the Corps des ponts et chaussées , often only briefly called, was the oldest and was very respected. In the course of technical development, the areas of responsibility were expanded accordingly.
The engineers of the Corps des ponts et chaussées were mainly graduates of the École polytechnique and then the École nationale des ponts et chaussées .
The corps can be traced back to the position of the state commissaire des ponts et chaussées created by Jean-Baptiste Colbert under King Louis XIV in 1669 (for example: commissioner for bridge and road construction). On this basis, in 1716 under Louis XV. the Corps des ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées established.
In October 2009, the Corps des ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées (IPC) merged with the Corps des ingénieurs du génie rural, des eaux et des forêts (IGREF) (about 'engineers for agronomy, lakes and forests'), which together now have the Form the corps des ingénieurs des ponts, des eaux et des forêts (IPEF) . Civil aviation students are trained at the École nationale de l'aviation civile .
