BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Majors: signal and image processing, communication, computers, and medical systems

Advantages, Distinctiveness, and Vision

• Synergy: The electrical engineering and electronics (EE) program is the sister of the computer engineering (CE) program. Together they form a department. In Israel, this is the case only at the Technion and research universities, making the department at the Ruppin Academic Center unique among the colleges in Israel.
• Eminent lecturers: The overwhelming majority of lecturers in the program have experience both in teaching and research at the leading academic institutions in Israel as well as many years of experience at the forefront of the high-tech industry.
• Distinctive scholarships for excellence: The Faculty of Engineering awards a special scholarship* that covers the basic tuition fees in full (100%) for one year (the scholarship funds are disbursed over a two-year period) to regular students accepted to the first year of studies in the undergraduate degree program in electrical engineering and electronics provided they have a score of 650 or higher on the psychometric exam. In addition, the f​aculty offers an array of scholarships for academic excellence, motivational scholarships, need-based scholarships, and sports scholarships.
• Labs: The Faculty of Engineering’s extensive, advanced infrastructure includes a variety of sophisticated labs outfitted with the best hardware and latest software. ​From the basic labs to the advanced labs, they are designed to facilitate understanding and practicing engineering processes: computers | field programmable gate array (FPGA) | physics | electronics | laser | system on chip (SOC) | microprocessors | communication | digital signal processing (DSP) | medical engineering lab including advanced measuring and imaging equipment | robotics and automation | embedded systems and internet of things
• Final project: Most final projects are performed in the industry, in cooperation with a wide range of companies. This facilitates students’ swift transition to working in the industry. Students taking evening classes who work at technology companies can perform their project at their place of employment, provided this is coordinated in advance.
• Career placement: Students and alumni receive guidance, advising, and direction throughout and after their studies, including workshops to prepare them for the job market, resume writing, job listings, and placement of alumni at selected companies. Alumni of the program are employed in a variety of positions at major high-tech companies such as IBM, Intel, ECI, GE, and AudioCodes as well as at many start-ups.
• Continuing studies: The program’s outstanding students often go on directly to earning a master’s degree in a research track at the electrical engineering faculties of the Technion or Tel Aviv University.
