The PSL-Week "Engineers" March 26th-30th
More than 200 students at the Master's level, in the 2nd or 3rd year at the EnsAD, the CPES, or in one of the three engineering schools of the PSL University will participate at the PSL-Week “Engineers". All institutions and disciplines will be distributed into the classrooms of EnsAD, , and to attend one or more of the seventeen modules offered in Physics, Chemistry, History, Economics, Applied Mathematics...
"This is a unique opportunity to perfect your culture, to discover a discipline, or to meet students from different tracks. This also gives some students the desire to go further, to take other courses or to do an internship or a thesis in another school or institute of PSL” explains , Director of Studies, Civil Engineers cycle, at MINES ParisTech.

Coordinated by , Director of Studies and Research at EnsAD, the PSL-Week "Engineers" offers a very rich program. Depending on their curiosities, future participants will have the opportunity to: train in Machine Learning at MINES ParisTech; learn about Mobile Robotics with the help of experienced teachers from EnsAD and ESPCI Paris, or explore the notion of time under the guidance of ESPCI Paris teachers. Observatoire de Paris, ENS or CEA - participants in this module will hear lectures from André Klarsfled and Etienne Klein.
The PSL-Week "Engineers" is also an opportunity to develop an entrepreneurial project. To encourage vocations, the and ESPCI Paris have been organizing PSL-Hack for two years in partnership with EDF. Distributed in multidisciplinary teams, the students have five days to achieve, with the help of EDF teachers and coaches, a solution in response to EDF's challenges.
These inter-school weeks, initiated in 2014, for the PSL-Week "Engineers", and in 2015 for the PSL-Week "Arts", are a central element of student life at PSL. This serves as a source of inspiration for the shared-learning platform, which allows enriched cross-institutional student mobility in the entire ̳.

"The PSL-Week is an opportunity to follow very well thought-out courses, it lays the foundation for entrepreneurial projects, and opens up new academic possibilities. Overall, it better captures the essence of the PSL mindset."
