TECHNICAL PERSONNEL: Lecturers, Technical Sales, Marketing, Failure Analysis, Research & Development, Quality Control and Assurance, Production Engineers or Technicians. The characteristic of surface and near-surface regions of materials can be characterised by various surface analysis techniques. Applications of many engineering materials are determined by the surface and near-surface structures. Therefore, the well being of this region is essential in order to obtain a pre-required condition for those materials to be applied for a specific application. Typically, failure of engineering products may be traced back to surface/near-surface contamination or surface reconstruction. In order to obtain more information related to the failure, in-sight of these regions need to be exposed. This course is outlined to introduce basic principles of surface science, which serve as an essential foundation to explain the operation concepts and applications of several important surface analysis techniques. Know-how of interpreting the analysis data is also explained in this “easy-to-follow” and “easy-to-understand” training course. With these and the support of brief but sufficient fundamental theories, skill of selecting a relevant technique with respect to its practical engineering usage will be covered. Ultimate goal for this course is to increase level of knowledge in making a correct technical decision to solve surface related issues and transform knowledge into applications.

ENGINEERING WITH SOUL
The Technion encourages its engineering students to look
beyond the realm of the classroom and the lab, and to
address the needs of developing communities.
Today, almost all current engineering design is aimed at
the 10% of people worldwide who can pay for it. The
remaining 90% do not enjoy the benefits of modern
engineering. This unsettling statistic triggered the
emergence of the Engineers without Borders (EWB)
movement, in which Technion is active.
Guided by the saying, “what works when traditional
approaches fail”, EWB seeks to instill engineering students
and professionals with a social conscience, hands-on
engineering skills, experience and leadership qualities.
The organization, which has 300 chapters worldwide,
including one at Technion, works by executing engineering
projects in the developing world. Prof. Mark Talesnick of
the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the
Head of the Technion EWB chapter calls it “engineering

11. STUDY IN HAIFA, ISRAEL
WHERE PAST MEETS FUTURE
Israel, as rich in history as it is in high tech achievements, is
one of the most compelling spots on earth. Here, the world’s
major monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam
– emerged, and the foundation for western civilization laid. Science and technology are obviously not the sole domain of Haifa. The State of Israel itself, despite its small size and
limited resources, plays a leading role in this arena. With the highest per capita number of scientists and engineers in
the world, Israel ranks among the top five countries globally for patents per person. In addition, Israel far outnumbers
its European counterparts in the number of companies traded on NASDAQ, and is home to the greatest concentration
of high-tech start-up companies anywhere outside the Silicon Valley.
In Israel, nine of every 1,000 workers are engaged in research and development, nearly double the rate of the USA
and Japan.
The country has proportionately the highest number of publications in science and engineering worldwide. It has a
larger share of publications co-authored with foreign scientists than any other nation.
