JCE is the first college to join a list of companies and universities that host the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) student interns in Israel. MIT’s MISTI-Israel program trains and sends outstanding MIT students to Israel to carry out their internships. The MIT-Israel program also focuses on cross-cultural training and supporting collaborative research opportunities between MIT and Israel. In fact, after participating in this program, there is the possibility of MIT and JCE students collaborating on future joint projects.
JCE’s collaboration with MIT, ranked #1 in undergraduate engineering studies in the US, is a unique opportunity for MIT students to be hosted by the College, while actually interning at leading high-tech companies, namely Teva, Intel and AVX. JCE provides the framework for these internships and arranges the match with the high-tech company, while also providing guidance to students and a social framework through which MIT students will be able to learn and network.
The current group of MIT’s MISTI-Israel program participants visited JCE in the beginning of February to meet with Israeli Engineering student counterparts, discuss the future challenges and opportunities that face students, and see JCE's unique Pharmaceutical Engineering labs, established in cooperation with TEVA Pharmaceuticals.
