Location and structures[edit]
H.I.T. has a single campus, in the center of Holon. The campus stretches over about 50 dunams (5.0 ha; 12 acres) and includes eight buildings, two of which were constructed in the last few years. The combined area of the first six buildings is over 15,000 square metres (160,000 sq ft).[2]
History[edit]
H.I.T. was founded in 1969 with 100 students, as the Center for Technological Education Holon (CTEH) and, until 2000, was affiliated with Tel Aviv University.
In 2000, it became an independent institution called the Holon Academic Institute of Technology (HAIT) and was recognized by the Council for Higher Education in Israel as an institute of higher education.[3] In 2006, it became the Holon Institute of Technology (H.I.T.).
Academic programs[edit]
The institute is one of two in Israel which offer career training and research in engineering and technology; the other is the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
About 3,600 students study in H.I.T., in the following program:[1][3]
- Electrical Engineering: B.Sc. and M.Sc. (without thesis)
- Management of Technology: B.Sc. and M.Sc. (without thesis)
- Applied Mathematics: B.Sc.
- Computer Sciences: B.Sc.
- Design:
-
- Industrial Design: B.Design
- interior design: B.Design
- Visual communications design: B.Design
- Integrated design: M.Design (without thesis)
- Instructional Systems Technologies: B.A.
H.I.T. was the first college in Israel which was accredited to grant the B.Sc. degree (colleges in Israel used to grant only the B.Tech. degree). As other colleges receive accreditation, H.I.T. became the first to be accredited to give the M.Sc. degree.[4]
Relationships[edit]
H.I.T receives research grants from both local and international sources and conducts ongoing studies with numerous other institutions, including the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Technion, Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. H.I.T. also maintains cooperation agreements with international universities and institutions, including the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow, the Institute of Technology and Physics in St. Petersburg, the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico and the University of Southern California.
