Civil Engineering
The construction industry in Israel is rapidly advancing, playing a significant role in accelerating economic growth. It includes the planning and construction of various types of buildings for private and public purposes, such as residential buildings, public structures, offices, factories, entertainment centers, and more. Employers in this industry include construction contractors, government agencies, local authorities, coordination, supervision, and management firms, entrepreneurial ventures, as well as infrastructure and site contractors. A Certified Civil Engineer is involved in all areas related to the management of construction sites, management of the execution of the structure at construction sites, and supervision of the execution on behalf of the contractor, client, or local authorities. Graduates who continue their studies and specialize in building planning can work in building planning in design offices.
Upon successfully completing the program's pedagogical requirements, which include internal and external exams, as well as defending their final projects, graduates will be rewarded with a “Civil Engineer Certificate/Diploma” in the sub-track of Construction Management from the College and The Government Institute for Technological Training (MHT). For those continuing their studies in the sub-track of Building Planning who fulfill the program's pedagogical requirements will be rewarded with a “Civil Engineer Certificate/Diploma” in the sub-track of Building Planning from the College and The Government Institute for Technological Training (MHT).
