=== 1848–1945: The big works ===
As a new step in the evolution of the school, the decree of 1851 insists on the organisation of the courses, the writing of an annual schedule, the quality of the faculty, and the control of the students’ works. For the first time in its history, the school opens its doors to a larger public. At this time, in France, the remarkable development of transports, roads, bridges and canals is strongly influenced by engineers from the school ([[Henri Becquerel|Becquerel]], [[Fulgence Bienvenüe|Bienvenüe]], [[Albert Caquot|Caquot]], [[Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot|Carnot]], [[Clément Colson|Colson]], [[André Coyne|Coyne]], [[Eugène Freyssinet|Freyssinet]], [[Louis-Jean Résal|Résal]], [[Paul Séjourné|Séjourné]]), who deeply modernised the country by creating the large traffic networks, admired in several European countries.
