Study programs in the Field of Sustainability

Full study programs relevant to sustainability – some are given by interdisciplinary centers at the Technion, some in collaboration with several faculties, and some by a specific faculty:

  • Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP) – interdisciplinary study programs for advanced degrees in energy. The curriculum began operating in 2011, is intended for Israeli and international students, and offers several tracks.
  • Bachelor Degree in Environmental Engineering – shared by 3 faculties: the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering.
  • Faculty of Civil & Environmental Engineering – offers a variety of tracks in the fields of sustainability: structural engineering, management and construction engineering, transportation engineering, water engineering, mapping and geo-information engineering, hydrodynamics and water resources, agricultural engineering and more…
  • Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning – offers tracks in the field of sustainability: architecture, landscape architecture, sustainable architecture, urban design, heritage preservation and renewal, history, theory and criticism, computerized design and production, green architecture, preservation of buildings and sites, urban and regional planning, industrial design and more…
  • Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering – offers tracks in the fields of sustainability: environmental engineering (in collaboration with the faculties of civil and environmental engineering and chemical engineering) and a track for innovation and sustainability in food engineering.
  • Faculty of Chemical Engineering – offers a track in environmental technologies as part of a BA.
  • The multidisciplinary program for advanced degrees in nanoscience and nanotechnology named after Norman Seiden, within the RBNI (Russel Berrie Nanotechnology Institute) established in 2005, holds interdisciplinary study programs for advanced degrees (Master of Science in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Ph.D.). Some of the fields of study have a connection to sustainability (in everything related to minimization of components and reduction of energy consumption, nano-encapsulation of medicines, water and wastewater treatment, production and recycling of materials and more).
  • The inter-unit program for robotics and autonomous systems holds interdisciplinary study programs for advanced degrees (Master of Science in Autonomous Systems and Robotics (with thesis), Master of Autonomous Systems and Robotics (without thesis), Ph.D.). The fields of study in it overlap with sustainability in regards to advanced manufacturing, automation and optimization (SDG9).
