Israel Institute of Technology international programs
In the Engineering for Developing Communities program, students will learn about community-based sustainable development through a hands-on learning experience in Mekelle, Ethiopia, where they will study with students and staff from around the world as well as local Ethiopian students. Throughout the course, students will be challenged to approach problems with innovation and critical thinking and use multi-disciplinary tools to address a wide range of engineering and development challenges in a holistic way. The course will take place from mid-July to mid-August 2016, and it is open to students from any field of study – not just engineering students. In fact, we welcome and encourage students from other fields, such as business, medicine, and international development, to participate in this program.
Program dates are: July 17 – August 12, 2016 (tentative) Location: Mekelle, Ethiopia
