Energy and Power Systems Engineering

Energy and Power Systems Engineering

The academic program in energy and power systems engineering is a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary program combining both mechanical and electric engineering. The program provides a broad, comprehensive perspective of energy and power, enabling students to design, monitor, and develop advanced systems. Examples of these systems - such as roads that charge vehicles as they drive, alternative fuels and energy sources, and more.

Majors

1. Service systems: includes courses on service operations management, process management, and organizational innovation development
2. Infrastructure systems - includes courses on spatial data systems, infrastructure systems design, water and sewage, and decision - making and risk-management
3. Business systems - includes courses on business and financial planning, product management, business process management, and system integration

What Makes This Program Unique?

The graduate program in energy and power systems engineering is designed to train experts in these fields, and to place them at the forefront of research and development. Taught exclusively at Afeka, this unique, and innovative degree, provides students with advanced, up-to-date knowledge and a comprehensive, integrative, system-wide perspective that will help them both with research and with assuming key roles in this field.

The energy resource crisis, the high cost of energy production, and its environmental and regulatory implications call for proper energy planning and management - as well as the ability to identify and develop alternative technologies and deal with multidisciplinary system-wide challenges. Thus, the field of energy and power has become a linchpin of the economy, an ongoing trend that creates the need for experts with engineering knowledge, a broad systemic understanding of the market, and deep familiarity with the energy market’s unique aspects. This program’s alumni will acquire the skills and the broad perspective required to stand at the forefront of research and development in this field.
