University of Technology of Compiègne
The
University of Technology of Compiègne (,
UTC) is a
public research university located in
Compiègne, France. The university has both the status of
public university and
grande école. It was founded in 1972 as the first experimental
Institute of Technology in France. The university is a founding member of
Sorbonne University Association, a group composed of French leading academic and research institutions, which alumni and faculty include 19
Nobel laureates and 7
Fields Medalists. A fundamental principle of the UTC is the education of both
engineers and citizens inspired by
humanist philosophy. Beyond an education in basic sciences (e.g. Mathematics, theoretical physics) and engineering sciences (e.g. thermodynamics,
polymer physics), the curriculum also has a strong emphasise on
humanities and
social sciences (e.g. philosophy, history of science and engineering, journalism). The overarching goal is to form humanist scientists and technologists capable of solving problems within a conscious and ethical framework of environmental, social, and societal consequences.
