BA/BS in Biotechnology Engineering

The B.Sc in Biotechnology Engineering (תואר ראשון בהנדסת ביוטכנולוגיה) at ORT Braude College of Engineering in Karmiel combines biology, chemistry and engineering. The field addresses challenges such as food security, climate change, resource scarcity, environmental protection and the development of medical treatments. The programme pairs a broad scientific and engineering foundation with hands-on laboratory work. Students are also introduced to current research and to the demands of industry, and the laboratory work is designed to build practical skills that employers value in biotechnology companies. The department aims to develop critical thinking, curiosity and creativity, and to turn scientific ideas into practical solutions that benefit society. Students may choose a specialization within the degree. Faculty members conduct research across several areas of biotechnology, giving undergraduates access to active research groups during their studies.
