Presentation
Why choose the engineering program?
At 3iL Ingénieurs, you don’t just follow a program, you build a path that leads you to careers in the digital sector.
Over the course of three years, you’ll work toward becoming a certified engineer (Bac+5), recognized by the CTI and holding a master’s degree. You’ll develop skills in computer science, engineering, and project management, while gaining experience through hands-on projects and internships.
The goal is simple: to give you the tools you need to find your path and be ready to work in the digital field right after graduation.
objectives
Starting in the 1st grade, you’ll build a strong foundation in science and computer science through hands-on projects. The goal: to develop a solid foundation in science and digital literacy.
In your second year, you’ll develop your technical and professional skills through a practical project, a Cisco certification, a semester abroad, and your choice of technology track. The goal: to make progress and begin to specialize.
Starting in your second and third years, you’ll choose a technology track from among several fields (AI, cybersecurity, big data, digital health, etc.) to tailor your education to your interests. In your third year, you’ll solidify your career path with the opportunity to earn a dual degree and gain professional experience. The goal: to develop your specialization and prepare for your professional future.
