“Talking Engineering” Event in Collaboration with the Haifa Municipality

This past Sunday, we hosted approximately 100 11th–12th grade students from high schools in Haifa at the faculty, in collaboration with the Haifa Municipality, as part of the “Talking Engineering” day.

The visit opened with a fascinating lecture by Dr. Asaf Zinger on nanotechnology and research from his laboratory. The students showed great interest and asked many questions. The day continued with a lecture by Sivan Arber-Raviv on what chemical engineering is and the role of a chemical engineer.

Later, the students toured the research laboratories of Prof. Avi Schroeder, Dr. Asaf Zinger, Prof. Havalet (Havatzelet) Bianco-Peled, Prof. Hossam Haick, Dr. Michael Shoham-Petreshko, as well as the teaching laboratory.
Yegor Igorov, Rand Shibel, Rimon Davidovitch, and Luba Texler hosted the students in the labs and presented the research conducted there, along with the teaching methods and systems.

In the third part of the day, a roundtable panel was held featuring faculty students, members of the Lavi Excellence Program. They engaged in discussion with the pupils, shared their experiences as students in the faculty, and answered questions.
