We promote joint research between academia and industry and encourage our fourth year engineering students to engage with technologically advanced projects. We even provide our students with a tech development lab and professional support. It’s a win-win situation: the entrepreneur receives a solution to a need as well as an initial model of the product before there is funding to back it and the students acquire experience in high-level industry development, which often opens doors to later employment with the company.
Ma’ayan Sinai and Shani Ben-Ari, students from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at the Tal Campus of the Lev Academic Center in Jerusalem, were awarded the “Outstanding Projects Award of 2018” by the Academy of Information and Technology. The prize was awarded to them for their contribution to the development of an application interface, together with BGSegev, a startup headed by Gil Segev. The app identifies early signs of stroke and other vascular diseases, warning of suspected outbreaks if symptoms appear in the patient.
Sinai and Ben-Ari, who were excited to receive the award stated: "We would like to thank the Committee for trusting in this revolutionary development. The app is aimed at saving people’s lives from a disease ranked one of the leading causes of death in the Western world today. It is a great privilege for us to be partners of this important project. "
Eti Stern, Head of JCT’s Tal Campus explained, "We promote joint research between academia and industry and encourage our fourth year engineering students to engage with technologically advanced projects. We even provide our students with a tech development lab and professional support. It’s a win-win situation: the entrepreneur receives a solution to a need as well as an initial model of the product before there is funding to back it and the students acquire experience in high-level industry development, which often opens doors to later employment with the company."
