TheLeonard de Vinci Engineering School (ESILV) is anengineering school located inParis, France. It is fully accredited to award the title ofingénieur by the FrenchCommission of Engineering Titles. ESILV is part of the "Pôle universitaire Léonard-de-Vinci". The director of the school is Pascal Pinot.
It was placed 10th among French engineering schools "Post-bac" in the 2010Le Point rankings.[1]
Since 2022, the school has been the highest-ranked private school post-high school according toUsine Nouvelle,L'Étudiant, andLe Figaro. In 2024, ESILV was ranked 2nd byL'Étudiant, 3rd byLe Figaro in post-baccalaureate rankings, and 1st byUsine Nouvelle in the same category. Furthermore, in 2023, it was ranked 3rd in the general ranking of French engineering schools byUsine Nouvelle, where it was also ranked first in the following categories: aerospace, automotive and transport, mechanical engineering, as well as computer science, electronics, and telecommunications.[2][3][4]
TheLeonard de Vinci Engineering School (ESILV) was created in 1995 by theConseil général des Hauts-de-Seine. It is an engineering school which is located inLa Défense. Since 2003, the diploma of ESILV is a recognized diploma by theCommission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI). This accreditation has been renewed in 2013.[5]
The ESILV is composed of four departments:
The majors offered apply in the area of modeling and numerical simulation, computer networks and databases, new energies, new information technologies, computational mechanics, and financial engineering.
Students enter after high school graduation (e.g. FrenchBaccalauréat). Application is made during the senior year.[7] Students may also enter after theClasse Préparatoire aux Grandes Écoles and spend three years in the school or after a Licence and spend two years in the school.
There are a wide variety of classes taught at the Engineering School Leonard de Vinci: mathematics, scientific computation, computer science, mechanical engineering, and financial engineering to name a few. In addition, students take classes at the partnering management schoolEMLV in areas such as marketing and management. For further real-world experience, their curriculum includes two six-month internships with industrial partners.
Since the graduation of the first senior class in July 2000, all of the alumni of the ESILV have successfully joined the work force and were hired as:
