In 1947 an engineering department was created and in 1957 the EFR qualification was certified by the commission for engineering qualifications. The teaching of computer science was introduced in 1969 and networking also became part of the syllabus. In 1987, EFREI was the only faculty for those wanting to become engineers. That year, a second site in Villejuif was opened; student numbers increased from 70 to 160. More extension projects have taken place since, and in September 2001, EFREI was moved, the entire campus being situated at 30, Avenue de la République, Villejuif.
