What you study

Electrical Engineering deals with electricity as a means of transmitting energy, as opposed to Electronics Engineering, which deals with using electricity to transmit information. In most cases, students must choose one or more specializations during their studies, such as electro-optics, communications, nanoelectronics, bioengineering, signal processing, computers, control, electronic devices, energy and power systems, bioelectronics, and more. Courses in the degree include theoretical courses in core subjects such as mathematics, physics, programming, and electronics, as well as theoretical and practical laboratory courses, according to the areas of specialization. The studies also include a final project in the last year.

After the degree

What graduates work as

  • Electronics Engineeringmost commonResearch, design, and guidance for the construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of electronic systems. Study of the technological aspects of materials, products, and processes, and providing advice about them.
  • Software DevelopmentResearching, analyzing, and evaluating requirements for software applications. Designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software solutions that meet those requirements.
  • Electrical EngineeringResearch, design, and guidance for the construction and operation of electrical systems, components, motors, and equipment, as well as consulting on their operation and maintenance. Studying the technological aspects of materials, products, and processes.
  • Management of Other Professional ServicesPlanning, directing, coordinating, and evaluating the provision of professional and technical services.
  • Application ProgrammingWriting and maintaining code for software applications and operating systems.

Which industries they work in

  • Scientific Research and Development23%
  • Manufacture of Computers, Electronic and Optical Equipment22%

Employment rate above average: 84% of graduates are employed 3–4 years after completing their studies(average across all institutions)

Graduates' salaries are above average: ₪33,300 average monthly salary 5–6 years after graduation(average across all institutions)

In short, in plain words

Electrical engineering studies electricity as a way of transmitting energy, and the program includes core courses such as mathematics, physics, and programming.

During their studies, students usually choose a specialization, such as communications, computers, control, or energy and power systems.

Graduates of this field work in electronic engineering, researching and designing electronic systems.
