Program Overview

Program Description:

The B.Sc. in Civil Engineering degree is a prestigious program designed to train future engineers to meet the challenges of infrastructure and modernization in the 21st century. Core Themes: Construction Management and Water Resources Engineering Taught by leading faculty at Technion’s Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the program exposes students to structural, economic and construction management aspects of the physical and natural built environment, water resources planning, geoinformatics and transportation engineering. It also explores underlying applications of science and engineering to the improvement and preservation of natural resources. Option of Transferring to Regular Technion Programs (in Hebrew): Students who have successfully completed the first year (Freshman Year) of the program have the option of transferring into a regular undergraduate study track in Hebrew offered by other engineering and science faculties at the university, provided their Hebrew language skills are sufficient according to Technion policies. Please note that Internal Faculty Transfer Students enrolled in a Technion International program who would like to transfer to another Technion faculty are responsible for inquiring with the faculty in question about its transfer requirements.

The BSc degree in Civil Engineering consists of 156 academic credits that can be completed in 4 years. The program prepares students for successful careers in the private, public, and governmental sectors in areas such as infrastructure and general construction, water resources management, wastewater treatment, water treatment and pollution, control, air and soil pollution, and remediation and solid waste disposal. Students will learn about construction management at different stages of construction process, touching on areas such as management, economic business, planning and legal issues associated with this process. Topics related to the design and management of water delivery and supply systems, water and wastewater treatment and recycling, and the development of new water sources will be studied. Basic tools for mapping a site and understanding geoinformatics, transportation science and road engineering focused on the areas of the design and operation of roads, junctions and interchanges, pavement design and traffic flow characteristics will also be taught. Graduates of the program will be awarded a BSc in Civil Engineering from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.

Technion’s BSc in Civil Engineering provides students with the tools necessary to meet the 21st century’s most pressing needs.

Preparation Period: Following the orientation week, students will undergo a Preparation Program, which lays the foundation for upcoming studies. Owing to the wide and diverse backgrounds of our international students, it’s essential that all students will begin the academically rigorous BSc program on an equal footing. To ensure that students are fully prepared for the demanding course load, the Technion mandates that all BSc students successfully complete a 16-week preparation program. During this period, students undertake intensive training in mathematics and physics, learn basic Hebrew, and pick-up helpful study skills. Experience indicates that the preparation program gives students a greater chance of excelling in and completing their engineering studies here. This preparatory period allows students to become familiar with the university’s academic structure and get to know their peers through informative and enjoyable social activities. The program also provides students with individual tutors, extra classes and counseling as needed. Students must be prepared for a challenging and intensive period of study. A list of the Preparation Program courses can be found on the courses section.
