A Message from the President
Opening the Academic Year in the Shadow of the Iron Swords War
Engineers play a crucial role in Israeli society. They are responsible for planning, developing and managing products, services, systems and projects that are vital to humanity. The ingenuity of our engineers has fueled the success of Israel’s high-tech industry. For Israel to maintain its international status, grow its economy and increase exports, we need excellent engineers that develop life-changing and life-saving technologies.
