HAITs Goals
-
Aspiring towards excellence in instruction and research at the
cutting edge of technological development by identifying new spheres of
knowledge, emerging interdisciplinary subjects and innovative instructional
technologies.
-
Aspiring towards realization of students' intellectual and
professional potential, and training personnel for careers in a constantly
and rapidly changing technological world. HAIT offers a flexible range of
opportunities to accommodate working students and enable the less affluent
to maximize their self-fulfilment.
Fostering close ties with science-based industries for
cooperation in research and applied technology.
Maintaining a highly regarded academic faculty and ensuring
optimal conditions for professional and intellectual advancement.
Research in Exact Sciences and Technology
The HAIT faculty comprises about 200 faculty members; many of them engage in
theoretical and applied research in the exact sciences and technology.
Faculty members publish articles regularly in prestigious scientific
journals and participate actively in international conferences. HAIT
research is carried out in cooperation with the Weizmann Institute of
Science, the Technion, Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University, as
well as through collaborative agreements with universities and research
institutes abroad.
Labs and Research Centers Recently Established:
- Center for Materials Science and Engineering
- Research Center for Quantum Communication Engineering
- Real Time Embedded Systems Lab
- Microwave Lab as basis for Broadband Communications Lab
- Center for Computer-Aided Management of Ecosystems
- Electro-magnetic Compatibility Lab
- Center for Distance Learning
- Research Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
HAIT initiates relationships with hi-tech industry, such as joint research
ventures and cooperative efforts in the development of laboratory
infrastructures and of study programs. Research ventures include a joint
research with ECI Telecom on optical network transfer program analysis;
research on lubricants based on nano-particles, carried out for the HAIT and
Weizmann Institute start-up company ''Applied Nano Materials'', now
carried out by Volkswagen; and the development of medical diagnostic
equipment based on processing weak signals.
