B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering
Head of the Department of Mechanical engineering
Mechanical Engineering studies toward a B.Sc. train the graduates to deal with the development, manufacturing planning, and inspection of mechanical systems by acquiring knowledge and tools based on classical and modern engineering methodologies.
The modernized technological Industry focuses on developing and manufacturing products that require knowledge and understanding of several disciplines. As a result, there is a growing need for engineers who possess multi-disciplinary engineering capabilities.
Employment options for mechanical engineers-
Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Department will be able to join the Industry in its classical subjects as well as in the high-tech Industry. A mechanical engineer specializing in microsystems will integrate into the leading industries, such as mechanics, electricity, and advanced manufacturing technology, with a wide range of applications: military systems, medical systems, entertainment electronics, production industry, and more. They are able to work in development, design, manufacturing, and project management and consulting.
Graduates of the mechanical engineering program will serve as mechanical engineers with training and knowledge in microsystems. They will work in fields that contain the combination of electronics and mechanics of sophisticated micro-electro-mechanic systems. These systems are required to improve components and lower production costs in defense, medical, communication, and transportation systems.
Mechanical Engineering Course of Study
Mechanical engineering studies spread over four years and include basic science studies, such as classic mechanical engineering studies, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and applied engineering studies from a range of fields, such as robotics, micro-mechanical systems, power and heat systems, air conditioning, internal combustion engines, and others. Within the first two years, the primary subjects of science and classic mechanical engineering topics are learned. Following the first two years, the program advances into the core topics of the department, namely, Energy and Fluid mechanics, Strength of materials, and micro-systems.
Students in the mechanical engineering department prepare a final project in cooperation with the Industry throughout their final year of study. The projects are mentored by senior faculty at the college and engineers from the Industry.
The project’s objectives are threefold:
1) Integrating the theory with practice
2) Build up contacts with Industry
3) Training in project management and technological methodologies such as DFMA, DTC, PIT, and NPI.
Upon completion of studies, the student acquires an academic degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering – Mechanics Engineer.
Receipt of the degree is under the auspices of the Council of Higher Education.
The uniqueness of the Mechanical Engineering Department
The Mechanical Engineering Department prepares its student for the high-tech Industry.
The program that includes specialization in micro-electro-mechanical systems enables the bachelor graduate to join programs that consist of multi-disciplinary topics. Larger mechanical, energy, and bio-engineering systems may utilize the graduate’s knowledge of MEMS. It is the only academic Mechanical Engineering Department in Jerusalem and its environs. The objectives of the department, cooperating with other educational Institutions and the Industry, are well met by many years of academic and industrial experience of the academic staff.
