The Department of Water Industry Engineering was established in 2010 as a result of the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s call to strengthen the Israeli water industry, which was recognized as one of the country’s most promising, fast growing industries. The main goal of this department is to train the “new water engineer”, by incorporating quality and quantity issues as well as many supporting up-to-date engineering topics (such as electrical and IT engineering, materials science and environmental engineering) in one program.
The department intends to construct a regional training and research center in order to become a hub of knowledge in the field of water. The department enjoys strong support and cooperation with the local water industries, which are helping to build an advanced and modern program.
