The Achi Racov Faculty of Engineering was founded with the goal of developing skilled engineers across diverse disciplines, preparing them to meet the demands of various industries in Israel.
The faculty is situated on the scenic shores of the Sea of Galilee, offering a vibrant campus environment that fosters a dynamic student community.
Beyond providing students with comprehensive knowledge, an academic degree, and professional skills, the faculty also plays a vital role in the advancement of society and the economy in Israel, particularly in the northern region. I am confident that the powerful synergy between exceptional academia, high-level industry, and innovative start-ups serves as a catalyst and a guarantee for social and economic progress.
Currently, the faculty offers 4 departments for four-year engineering programs, leading to the academic degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.):
• Software Engineering
• Water Industry Engineering
• Electrical and Electronics Engineering
• Quality and Reliability Engineering in Industry (A Track for Working Professionals)
Additionally, since the 2023-2024 academic year, the faculty has offered a two-year international Master’s degree program in Water Industry Engineering (M.Sc.). The program aims to provide advanced knowledge, enabling specialization and career advancement in various water-related fields. The degree is taught in English.
The faculty is undergoing significant growth, with the introduction of several new departments starting next academic year: In the 2025-2026 academic year, a B.Sc. program in Civil Engineering will be launched, followed by the anticipated introduction of B.Sc. programs in Computer Science (a three-year degree) and Industrial Engineering and Management.
Each of the study programs offers a strong foundation in basic sciences, engineering principles, and professional engineering specialization. This is achieved through a combination of courses, laboratory exercises, and annual project work. Throughout their studies, students are also exposed to topics in economics, management, and entrepreneurship as part of the ‘Academy 360’ initiative, which will launch during the 2025-2026 academic year. As part of this program, all engineering students will participate in one of the following clusters:
1. Entrepreneurship and Innovation
2. Management and Leadership
3. Personal Productivity
4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science
Industry collaboration is a core pillar of the Faculty of Engineering. This connection is reflected in a variety of activities, including industrial company and factory tours, guest lectures, projects led by industry experts, joint conferences, partnerships with lecturers who bring both academic and practical experience, and support in preparing and placing students in industry roles during and after graduation.
Additionally, the Kinneret Innovation Center (KIC), an affiliate of the college, provides students with a platform for industry connections through internships, scholarships, entrepreneurship and innovation education programs, training, hackathons, conferences, challenges, and quality employment opportunities for graduates. As part of their involvement with the Kinneret Innovation Center, the faculty’s students and graduates gain access to knowledge-intensive, well-paid employment, exposure to innovative research areas, connections with investors, and the opportunity to broaden their personal horizons in the world of engineering.
In 2024-2025, the ‘Science and Innovation Park’ was inaugurated, located within the KKL-Zemach-Kinneret Park. The two lower floors of the building house state-of-the-art laboratories designed for teaching and research in the fields of science and engineering, along with advanced classrooms that serve the students of the Faculty of Engineering.
The Faculty of Engineering places students at the heart of their activities, offering personal guidance throughout their studies and beyond. In collaboration with the Dean of Students, the faculty provides dedicated support, addressing each student’s academic, financial, and social challenges.
I invite you to join the Faculty of Engineering and pursue an academic degree in one of the engineering disciplines of your choice. The engineering profession will open doors to a rewarding career—one that is engaging, challenging, diverse, and offers long-term opportunities
