Plans to expand the Haifa Technion – Israel Institute of Technology – the only technical university in the Middle East, were announced here today by Alexander Goldberg, president of the Technion. He said that the institute would increase its student body by 40 percent in the next four years and would expand its departments of aeronautical, chemical, electrical and industrial engineering.
Mr. Goldberg predicted that when peace finally comes to the Middle East, the skills provided at the Technion could be a factor in the improvement of living conditions in all countries of the region. He noted that the Technion has been graduating scientists and engineers for more than 40 years and for much of that time has been aiding developing countries. “Not only do we have students from the emerging nations of Africa and Asia, but we send our own graduates to those countries to instruct them in the skills necessary to build a nation,” Mr. Goldberg said.
