Electro-Optics Engineering Faculty

Department Chair: Zvi Weinberger

Man is endowed with the capabilities to explore and understand the wonders of creation. In addition, he can utilize nature to his benefit. This is the purpose of the Applied Physics Department.

A student of the applied physics department leans a broad spectrum of courses, including classical and modern physics, mathematics, computers and electronics. The student chooses one of the two fields to specialize in: Electro-optics Engineering or Medical Engineering.  Graduates of both specialities acquire broad knowledge in their selected field of study. After four year of study, graduates earn a B.Sc. degree and the right to be listed in Israel's Registry of Engineers and Architects.

During the fourth year, students conduct individual original projects to gain practical experience in applied research and development.

Many students choose to continue toward Masters' Degrees or Doctorates at Universities in Israel or around the world.

The department faculty conduct research in the fields of micro-optics, medical instrumentation, processing optics and medical information, optical communications, photonic crystals and solar cells. They also serve as professional advisors to industrial companies.

Electro-Optics Engineering Faculty

Faculty Director: Dr. Yoel Arieli

Degree: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Graduates are eligible for registration in the Architects' and Engineers' Registry.

The importance of applied physics in general, and electro-optics in particular, is increasing in all aspects of modern life. Modern electro-optics applications are being implemented in electronics, modern communications, medicine, data processing and energy. Electro-optics is especially important in the security field.

A graduate of the electro-optics faculty will have mastered planning optical systems and instruments, lasers and other light sources, photoelectric light detectors, electro-optic light modulation, holography, devices for television photography as well as night vision devices, and computer assisted lens design.

The faculty prepares electro-optics professionals for R&D work in the industry by providing them, in addition to their electro-optics studies, with a strong foundation in applied physics, electronics and computers. The program also prepares students for the pursuit of higher academic degrees in various fields of physics at other universities.
