The learning process culminates with the final project in which students utilize the knowledge and skills they have acquired to develop innovative devices and seek novel solutions for complex problems, often in collaboration with industry.
Outstanding 4th year undergraduates with excellent final projects – especially projects that can be turned into an MSc thesis – can opt for the Direct Track and complete both degrees in 5 years.
The program offers flexible timetables, allowing students to continue working as they expand their know-how, and gain an academic degree.
Both students and graduates of HIT’s B.Sc. program in Electrical & Electronics Engineering are highly valued across Israeli industry. Many students are already employed and wish to expand their capabilities through our B.Sc. degree.
Thousands of our alumni lead the way in major technological organizations, like the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Elta Systems, Elbit, El-Op, Intel, the Israel Electric Company (IEC), the Airforce, Navy and other security forces, and many more.
All faculty members hold a PhD, and some are Professors. Placing great emphasis on excellent teaching, they are also involved in innovative research in their respective fields. Many bring practical experience from working in industry – a significant added value for instructing students in our industry-oriented program.
Our faculty members conduct research in many different fields, receiving grants from both national and international foundations, and publishing their groundbreaking studies in high-level scientific journals.
