Engineers for a new era
The twenty-first century is marked by frequent changes and global challenges
To face these effectively, modern engineers must possess a diverse set of skills and abilities
A successful engineer will have a deep understanding of the fundamentals of science and engineering, but must also exhibit critical thinking, effective communication and problemsolving skills, as well as be capable of adapting to a rapidly changing reality
An engineer in the new era must be meticulous and determined, while also being creative, innovative, and informed on industry needs
The role of modern engineers in society is one of responsibility, professional ethics and social engagement. In a new age of engineering that serves society, future engineers must understand their role as “agents of change” who can employ their knowledge and skills to the benefit of Israeli society and humanity as a whole
