The second edition of Café IA Ingénierie, organised by Syntec-Ingénierie and Hub FranceIA in partnership with ESILV, brought together nearly 70 participants to discuss the uses of artificial intelligence in engineering professions. This meeting highlighted concrete feedback, projects led by academic and industrial players, and the challenges of AI training. By bringing together training, projects […]
During the first edition of the Drone Defense Hackathon, a competition born out of collaboration between the French Ministry of Defense and private sector players, held at the Grand Palais as part of the Adopt AI Summit, several teams from De Vinci Higher Education took part in the technological challenges proposed. DaVinciHive, LéoFly, DaVinciBot, and […]
Students from 20 French institutions took part in the GCPU Agentic AI Hackathon, an initiative dedicated to the practical uses of autonomous agents. The ESILV team, with its Pixia project, was among the 11 finalists who presented their solutions at Google’s premises. This edition, organised by Delphin B., Executive Leader in Cloud Partner Strategy & […]
LéoFly, the aeronautics and space association of the Léonard de Vinci cluster, is leading a scientific project that has been pre-selected for the REXUS programme coordinated by the European Space Agency. STAR-D is studying phagocytosis in microgravity using a model organism used in immunology. This pre-selection paves the way for an in-depth evaluation of the […]
Every profession is full of clichés. Engineering is no exception to the rule! Here are the top 10 stereotypes Some clichés about engineers stem from a bygone era (when engineering was exclusively male). In contrast, others are perpetuated by films and television series (engineers are geeks, always glued to their screens). This list is inevitably […]
As part of MN’s Academic Excellence Program, Marco Rossi, Class of 2025, completed his graduation research with one of the largest Dutch asset managers. Pursuing his master’s degree at ESILV in Paris, Marco explored concentration risk in equity portfolios and proposed innovative frameworks to support pension fund investment strategies. This recognition highlights the role of […]
A team from ESILV and KRYPTOSPHERE® achieved first place on the Exploration Track at the Ripple x EasyA Hackathon in Singapore, with a project that introduced innovative features for the XRPL blockchain. This achievement highlights the ability of engineering students to apply their skills to emerging fields such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology. […]
In engineering, the classroom is just the beginning. Blueprints and equations are vital, but they’re only part of the story. The real magic happens when curiosity steps into the workshop, when ideas take flight in competitions, and when engineers-in-training discover what they’re truly capable of through collaboration and creativity.
As we reach the heart of 2025, the field of engineering continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Those who have joined the discipline are now bathing in an ecosystem defined by advanced technologies, ongoing innovation, and increasingly immersive learning models. From AI-powered simulations in the classroom to interdisciplinary collaboration in state-of-the-art labs, the experience […]
Ali Ben Yezza and Eli Benbaruk, engineering students at ESILV and KRYPTOSPHERE® DeVinci members, were awarded second place at the HAKS Hackathon 2025 by XRPL Commons for their project AetherPay, a modular SDK designed for seamless XRPL payment integrations. Here’s a look back at a weekend of high-level innovation and teamwork at the intersection of […]
Public speaking can be a nerve-wracking experience for anyone, but for some engineers, who are often known for their methodical and introverted nature, the thought of standing in front of an audience can be daunting. While technical skills might be at the heart of an engineer’s expertise, communication, and presentation skills are equally crucial in […]
Many engineering students hear about technical associations early in their academic journey—whether through professors, campus events, or de bouche à oreille. But while some rush to sign up, others hesitate, unsure of what they’re really getting into. Is joining a technical association worth the time? Will it actually help with future job prospects? Or is […]
