The Jerusalem College of Engineering (JCE)
Established in 1999, the Jerusalem College of Engineering (JCE) is a non-profit organization that is committed to creating well-educated and highly trained professionals in the field of engineering. JCE offers four-year B.Sc. degrees in a number of engineering disciplines as well as a year-long pre-college academic preparatory program for students who wish to improve their grades in order to apply to the College.
JCE was initially founded in order to provide a solution for Jerusalem’s growing demand for human capital in the high-tech sector that was moving to the city at that time. Its mission included bolstering Jerusalem’s economy by enabling the growth and success of Israel’s knowledge-based and high-tech industries. JCE has developed close contact with industry – Teva, NDS, AVX, Intel and many others – in order to provide its students with the training and tools necessary to succeed.
The Jerusalem College of Engineering began with 72 students and 2 departments. Today, it has grown to include a student body of 1,700, studying in 5 departments:
JCE’s Advanced Mechanical Engineering Department, specializing in Micro-Mechanical Systems (MMS), is slated to begin operation in 2010; and a Clean-Tech Engineering Department will also open in the near future.
In the 2009-2010 academic year, JCE is cooperating with the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. Students can spend the first two years of the Technion’s four-year B.Sc. program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at JCE, and complete it at the Technion, in Haifa, where they receive their degree. JCE plans to open graduate programs in several of its departments and will do so in the coming years.
In all its departments, JCE’s curriculum boasts a cutting-edge approach to provide a rich and varied education in technology. JCE’s faculty provides each student every advantage possible to launch a promising career in engineering. Individual attention, a technologically-rich educational environment and a caring approach all contribute to the success of JCE students and graduates.
As JCE continues to grow and develop, it is also increasing its collaborations with other institutes, partnering with leading names such as MIT, the Technion, Van Leer Ventures and Hadassah-University Medical Center.
We invite you to Join Us in our efforts to maintain JCE’s commitment to academic excellence and technologically advanced, comprehensive training, as we continue to provide our students with the finest opportunities.
