Spend three months conducting research at the Braude College of Engineering in Karmiel, Israel. The college is an engineering-focused school dedicated to teaching and research, along with working in cooperation with industry.
The city of Karmiel is located in the region of Galilee in norther Israel. Surrounded by mountains and rocky hills, the area is known for its verdant landscapes, abundant wildlife, and remarkable archeological sites. In recent years, Galilee has also been recognized as a center of science, technology, and industry. In addition to the Braude College of Engineering, the region has become a hub for numerous high-tech companies. Students will be able to experience this dynamic environment as they work with faculty supervisors to complete real-world engineering projects in association with leading Israeli companies.
The Braude Summer Research website provides more information on the program. This brochure provides additional general information on research at Braude. University of Pittsburgh students should confer with the Swanson School of Engineering's Global Experiences and Engagement Office and website for specific information, which may differ from the general information provided by the Braude College of Engineering.
This program runs 8-12 weeks beginning in early May. Student researchers will have some flexibility regarding their start and end dates.
