My name is Professor Eitan Manor, Head of the Advanced Materials Engineering Department and Vice President of Academic Affairs of the Jerusalem College of Engineering. I would like to thank you for your interest in studying for a B. Sc. degree in Advanced Materials Engineering at our college and provide you with some information about the advanced materials engineering profession and studies with us. If you’re interested in additional information, please write me and I’d be happy to elaborate: manor@jce.ac.il.
Studies in advanced materials engineering is an excellent start toward obtaining a fascinating profession that enables you to integrate into the future of high-tech, knowledge-based and technological industry as well as to continue studies toward advanced degrees. “Advanced materials” are materials that are combined in applications used in advanced technologies. These materials can be metals, ceramics, polymers or a combination of them as a composite material. These materials produce components and systems that operate and function in an advanced and sophisticated technological environment in the fields of computers, electronic equipment, optical fiber systems, aviation and space systems and components, medicine and other fields.
Advanced materials engineering is an interdisciplinary subject related to understanding the behavior of these materials through study of the interrelationships between the structure and microstructure of materials and their properties. The classification of “advanced materials” includes the development of new materials, the improvement in the properties of existing materials or the development and improvement of complex processes. Examples include: a combination of fibers made from ceramic materials with aluminum or titanium in the space and aviation industries, the production of fast processors for the computer industry with thin layers and capacitors for the electronics and communications industry.
There is widespread awareness today of the development and advancement of the fields of materials and processes in knowledge-based and technological industries, with a commensurate growth in the demand for advanced materials engineers. Many high-tech companies such as Intel, AVX, Tower Semiconductors, Applied Materials, Kulike & Soffa and Vishay, security industries and many other firms need applied materials engineers.
The course of studies includes comprehensive training in basic science subjects, theoretical studies in a variety of scientific and technological subjects in materials engineering fields and specialization in materials for the microelectronic industry.
