- Engineering Economics for Mechanical Engineering (30134)
Course summary:
Abstract:
In the course students will be exposed to the language of engineering economics and will learn concepts such as interest, inflation, the consumer price index, and more.
After that, the students will learn metrics for evaluating the viability of projects such as net present value, internal rate of return, investment payback period and more, while focusing on the context of the engineer's environment.
Finally, the students will learn the use of alternative analyzes and feasibility studies in areas such as equipment procurement transactions.

Course summary:
Abstract:
The course provides students with an understanding of key topics in energy economics, both from an empirical and theoretical perspective, as well as skills in utilizing tools and quantitative models for analyzing energy resource
management problems. The course subjects include: the relationship between energy and the economy; the determinants of energy supply and demand; the link between energy consumption, economic development and the environment; renewable and non-renewable energy sources;
managing non-renewable natural resources; global energy markets; energy policy in Israel and other countries.
- Seminar In Infrastructure Engineering and Manageme (64017)
Course summary:
Abstract:
Abstract: This course will provide students with practical tools for the analysis and evaluation of complex infrastructure projects. Through the examination of various case studies in urban planning, transportation, and energy sectors, students will gain a deep understanding of decision-making processes, risk management, and problem-solving in infrastructure. The course will emphasize a systems approach, utilizing advanced tools such as GIS, Tableau, and MS Project to help students develop creative and effective solutions to complex engineering challenges.
- Autonomous Vehicle and Smart Transportation (65033)
- Seminar in Energy Systems and Electrical Power (67207)
Course summary:
Abstract:
The course delivers insights from the experience of the leading professionals and researchers in their expertise fields in Israel and reviews, while presenting and analyzing case studies and articles, the processes of R&D, planning, construction and operations of complex projects in energy systems and electric power, in Israel and around the world. The case studies and literature presented in the course deal with a range of domains (energy systems, electric power systems, urban spatial planning, transportation systems, and complex engineering project management) and emphasize a systemic-integrative view both in aspects of government policy, and in the aspects of conflict resolution between energy systems and subsystems in the planning and engineering stages, and in terms of the integration of operational, economic, environmental and social aspects in the planning and construction processes of energy and electric power systems. Following the presentation of the topic, a class discussion and analysis will be held. At the end of the course, the students will submit seminar works dealing with an in-depth analysis of one or more of the topics covered in the course, using the variety of analysis and design tools learned as part of the program.
