Studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering combine knowledge from the exact sciences, physics and engineering to enable the analysis, design and development of smart and efficient devices for advanced and futuristic applications. These applications operate in the physical world on a wide range of scales, from miniature nanometric devices to large-scale engineering structures.
Our objectives are the advancement of science, engineering and research, as well as knowledge sharing, helping the community, and protecting the environment. Our graduates are top engineers who lead Israel’s technological research and development projects, as well as flagship national and technological projects in recent decades.
The undergraduate curriculum provides a solid theoretical foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology combined with in-depth knowledge in areas such as robotics, control and dynamic systems, renewable energy, flow and heat theory, mechanics of materials, microelectromechanical structures and systems, advanced manufacturing technologies and computer-based design.
The program focuses on active project-based learning that integrates the various fields of knowledge, all of which culminate in a final project in the last year led by industry and research experts.
By providing a solid and broad theoretical foundation combined with hands-on experience and education in a fascinating multidisciplinary environment, our curriculum ensures that our graduates gain in-depth engineering knowledge, adopt flexible and adaptive learning skills, and become aware of their social contribution and environmental impact.
Excellence Programs
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers two programs for exceptional students:
Brakim – an excellence program that trains future research and development leaders in the defense industry. Those admitted to the program complete all the requirements for a BSc and MSc over a period of four years.

Reamim – an excellence program designed to encourage outstanding students who excel to rapidly integrate into research and study towards their MSc and PhD at the Faculty. Students can join the program from the end of the third semester onwards. Once admitted, they can choose advanced courses outside their main study track, engage in a large final research project, and participate in graduate courses during their undergraduate studies. In addition, students can complete their BSc and MSc in a shorter period of time and continue to their PhD on an accelerated track. They receive close personal guidance and financial support, as well as the opportunity to serve as teaching assistants in the Faculty in their fourth year of studies.
