Sami Shamoon College of Engineering (abbreviated SCE) is a college in Israel with campuses in Beersheba and Ashdod, focusing on STEM education. It was founded in 1995 in Beersheba and expanded into Ashdod in the 2000s. The college provides B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs and has over 6,500 students. The president since 2021 is Professor Semyon Levitsky.[1]
Sami Shamoon College of Engineering started out as part of a program to expand academic studies in Israel's geographic periphery. It was founded by faculty from Ben Gurion University, and originally named Negev Academic College of Engineering. The first curriculum was approved in 1994, and the college opened in 1995.
In 2004 the name was changed to Sami Shamoon [he], after a British-Israeli businessman who donated over US $10 million to the college.[2]
In 2012 the college received permission to grant master's degrees. A Haredi-oriented five-year study program was inaugurated in 2013, which includes preparatory studies before starting the degree.
