B.Sc. Materials Engineering

Material Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that spans the physical, chemical, mechanical, and environmental behavior of engineering materials, which may be metallic, ceramic, polymeric, or a combination of them as a composite material. Over the last three decades, rapid development has occurred in developing new processes and materials in advanced industries.

The wide variety of materials used in modern industry impacts almost all aspects of our daily lives- including building materials in structures and vehicles, biomedical materials, electronic materials in the high-tech sector, and more.

The Azrieli College of Engineering Jerusalem is one of only three institutions in Israel that grants recognized B.Sc. degrees in materials engineering (the only institute in Jerusalem). The college’s undergraduate program in Advanced Materials Engineering is designed to train students in the materials and processes fields to integrate them into high-tech and traditional technological industries or materials research at advanced degree levels.

The undergraduate program includes theoretical studies in the relevant science and technology disciplines and specialized studies such as materials used in microelectronics and electro-optical devices, nano-structured materials, and materials processing using novel methods. In addition, the program integrates technological experimentation in laboratories. During the last portion of their four-year course of study, students perform and submit a final project (often executed at an industrial plant), which provides them with practical, hands-on experience.
