TICEL serves as a core of the educational activities in Israel in the field of Internal Combustion Engines by providing laboratory support to all educational efforts in this area at undergraduate and graduate levels. TICEL mission in the framework of the Technion’s Mechanical Engineering teaching program is to promote students’ education in Automotive Engineering at both undergraduate and graduate levels:
- To educate highly qualified BSc mechanical engineers for Israeli economy that will work in the field of UAV and automotive propulsion systems (undergraduate level).
- To educate MSc and PhD engineers to be employed in research and development of advanced propulsion systems for Israeli industries and academy (graduate level).
- To improve and upgrade qualification of engineers employed in the field of propulsion systems in accordance with the latest developments and trends (graduate level).
The following undergraduate courses are taught at the Technion’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in the field of internal combustion engines and propulsion systems:
- Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines 035146 (lecture course)
- Internal Combustion Engines Laboratory 034411
- Advanced Energy Laboratory 034410
- Undergraduate student final projects 034355, 034356, 034379, 034380
To provide educational infrastructure for specialization of our students in the automotive systems engineering, the following graduate level courses are suggested:
- Internal Combustion Engines Fundamentals 036082
- Advanced automotive propulsion systems 036080
- Control of vehicle emissions 036079
- Laboratory on advanced propulsion systems 036078
These courses are taught in the framework of the interdisciplinary ME Program in Automotive Systems Engineering, which was developed in cooperation between the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Civil & Environmental Engineering. Currently, this Program is suggested as a specialization in the interdisciplinary general ME program of the Technion Graduate School.
TICEL provides an academic support to the Technion’s SAE Formula-Student Program https://www.facebook.com/TechnionFSAE
In total, more than 120 students make their research in TICEL or study propulsion-related courses per annum.
