Advisory committees, comprised of CEOs and Chiefs of R&D of leading industrial plants, have been established in each department, in order to help the various departments update their multi-disciplinary curriculums.

These committees trace the needs of the industry, while also acting as a bridge between the various departments and the industry, in order to recruit leaders of the industry as guest lecturers, find potential internships in the industry for the students’ final projects and work for the FACULTY OF ENGINEERING’s graduates.

Since quality of teaching is subject to the faculty’s engagement in R&D, Shenkar has developed tools for encouraging R&D therein – for faculty members, as well as for students.
