Silon – Excellence Program

Silon – Excellence Program

The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering’s Silon program is an excellence program that offers the opportunity to obtain both BSc and MSc degrees (with a research thesis) in ten semesters.

The Silon program was built in cooperation with the Academic Reserve (Atuda) program in the IDF.

For an Atuda student it includes academic and military training, as well as financial support from the army. This unique training program educates and promotes its students to become leaders in the R&D departments in the Israeli Air Force and in other unique military units. Graduates of this program are guaranteed to engage in the development of advanced weapons, combat aircraft missile integration, flight tests, UAV development projects, and in a wide variety of other jobs.

Each member in this program is assigned a personal academic advisor from among the faculty members, whose job is to guide the student during his membership in the program.

Members of the program are learning the undergraduate obligatory courses rapidly and intensively, and afterwards they are experiencing in guided research and receive “academic freedom” in choosing courses from other faculties.
